Scheduled imports

Create scheduled imports

You can schedule an import to recur according to a pre-defined schedule. To begin, simply click Schedule import to repeat from the final step of the task import.

All the recipient, destination, and task data from the import will be saved for use in the scheduled import. Complete Before and Complete After timestamps will also be saved, however the date used will necessarily be changed to the date of the scheduled import.

 

Setting scheduled import parameters

Once in the scheduled imports wizard, you will be able to configure a number of parameters:

• Name: The name of the scheduled import. This will be used to identify your import.
• Starting On: The date this scheduled import can begin.
• Occurs: The frequency of the scheduled import:
  • Once: The scheduled import will run on the Starting On date, then stop.
  • Daily: The scheduled import will run every day starting with the Starting On date.
  • Weekly: The scheduled import will run with the first day specified following the Starting On date.
• On: The days of the week chosen for the weekly occurrence.
• At: The time and timezone the scheduled import will run.

 

Once you click Done, a confirmation message will be shown indicating the import was successfully scheduled.

Error Handling

Tasks not assigned to expected driver: Verify the driver's name on the import file matches the driver's name in the dashboard. If mismatched, correct the driver's name in the dashboard to match the import file, or delete the scheduled import and create a new one with the updated file.

Email confirmation indicates "completeBefore must not be before creation time": Verify the complete before times listed in the import file occur after the import is scheduled to run.

Scheduled import has a status of "Stopped" in the dashboard: Verify that an owner is defined for the scheduled import, and that your billing status is current.
