What is a recurring import update?

Overview

Caution: Using an automated process requires careful planning and control to avoid damage to data. Column headings (field names) and data types must remain consistent over time. The order of updates must be planned to avoid overwriting data.

Feature

Recurring import updates allow you to schedule contact source and relational table imports from files that are uploaded to your Acoustic Campaign FTP (File Transfer Protocol) account. This provides you with a hassle-free way to ensure that your Acoustic Campaign database is up-to-date and in sync with your external data sources. For example, your Acoustic Campaign contains a Last Purchase Date field that you want to automatically update each day with data from your data warehouse.

Contact sources include databases and seed, test, and suppression lists.
