Bulk provides an option to upload a large number of resources, such as employees, to a service provider all at once. You can use bulk to download a csv or json file from a large number of records or upload a csv or json file to add multiple records. See Using Bulk for more information on managing bulk.
Note: A csv file bulk upload will fail if the object in the request payload contains an array.
Note: SAP Open Connectors leverages the native provider bulk endpoints whenever available. When there is no bulk available from the provider, SAP Open Connectors provides a bulk service for uploading and downloading data from the endpoint. See Bulk Details for the type of bulk used.

If you configured the Callback Notification Signature Key (event.notification.signature.key) when you authenticated a connector instance, the bulk APIs will use the signature key to provide hash verification in the header of bulk jobs. For more information, see Hash Verification.
