The Import type column describe why an import was triggered. This column helps you with keeping an audit trail if multiple users are accessing a single MConnect account.
When accessing the Imports tab in MConnect, there is a Trigger column, which indicates how that import was started.
These are the ways how import can be initiated:
- Manual - Triggered by someone clicking the Start import button in the MConnect user interface.
- Scheduled - Triggered by MConnect automatically (provided the 'Enable automatic imports' setting is enabled).
- Webhook - Triggered by us receiving a webhook from the connected platform (this is currently only available for WooCommerce integrations and is being rolled out throughout February & March 2022).
