Scheduling an import allows for the automated retrieval of updated import files, ensuring the seamless import of product information updates into your PIM system. 

To begin the scheduling process, the first step is configuring an SFTP location, which serves as the server location where you can store your import file. 

In addition to scheduling the import, you can set the import frequency, enabling regular updates to be pulled from the designated SFTP location.

Note: Once you schedule an import, you must manually start the schedule.
