This node allows you to initiate an import of profiles to Synerise. The node doesn't require any further configuration - it contains a list of required parameters a file must contain to be imported.

## Requirements
---
The full list or requirements is available in [Importing profiles](/docs/assets/imports/importing-clients).

## Node configuration
---
No configuration is required. However, this node must be preceded by one of the following nodes:
- [Local File](/docs/automation/operation/local-file-node)
- [SFTP](/docs/automation/integration/sftp-integrations)
- [HTTP](/docs/automation/integration/http-integrations) 

## Example of use
---
You can combine the **Local File** node with the **Import Profiles** node to import a file with customer data.
