Initiate Import

Use this action to trigger Import jobs. It is recommended to set the interval of the import profile to None, so the job will only start when initiated by the action.

A common business scenario for using this action type is initiating import from Excel or text data file when the file is uploaded to a SharePoint document library.

1. Site - site where the list containing the import profile resides
2. List - list where the import profile reside
3. Import profile - profile to trigger

The action only triggers the import job, it does not monitor it after it starts executing. The action will succeed even when the import profile fails.
