# Snowflake - Upload file to internal stage

Workato offers bulk loading of data to an internal stage in Snowflake. This action uses the Snowflake PUT (opens new window) to upload files to Snowflake internal stage. This action takes in either a CSV file, or a Workato FileStorage file path, and uploads it to the specified internal stage.

This action gives you the flexibility of using any type of internal stage. It is intended to work together with Workato bulk triggers (Jira, Marketo, and so on), and also works well when building ELT/ETL recipes. It also works together with the bulk load from stage action to bring data from an external source to a Snowflake table.

# Input Fields
