How do I schedule automatic data import and publishes? (Auto-import & auto-publish)

Modified on Wed, 1 Oct at 6:11 PM

As an EventPilot Pro user, you can set up automatic data imports and publishes on a daily schedule. 


  1. Contact your Project Manager to turn ON the Auto Import / Publish feature.
  2. Once this feature is turned ON, you will see a new card on your Conference App Builder Home screen called Auto Import / Publish
  3. Select the Edit Settings button on the card 
  4. Choose at least one run time
  5. Toggle Enable automatic import and publish to ON
  6. Click Next 
  7. Select which table you wish to import
    1. Note: One table may have multiple import sources. If you select one table, all of the import sources will be imported. 
  8. Select Advanced if you wish to Import only (not publish) and if you want to decrease or increase the import error threshold. 
  9. Click Next
  10. If the system encounters data errors during publish or import, it will automatically send the project owner an email. You can enter additional email addresses (separated by a comma), for your team members to also receive these emails. For example, someone else on your education team is responsible for the session and speaker data that is imported from your Abstract Management System. Ensure to add their email address to receive error reports.
  11. Click Done

Yes. You can import and publish at any time. 


Does the auto import / publish continue after my event is over? 

Auto publishing automatically stops 24 hours after the final session date in your agenda data.
