# When Records Imported

The **When records imported** trigger is activated once a data import (e.g., from Excel) is completed. It allows you to trigger workflows based on the import of records into a specified table.

### Configuration Options

**Choose Table**

-   Select the table where you want to monitor the import of records.

**Run As**

-   Define the context under which the trigger will run:
    -   **Run under Me (Current User)**: The action will run under your user rights.
    -   **Run under Logged-in User**: The action will run in context of the user, which started the action. 
    -   **Run under API Token**: Best solution. Most secure in case you choose a Shared API token!

Once the data import is finished for that table, the trigger will automatically activate and run the associated workflow.

### Use Case Examples

-   Automatically send a notification when new customer records are imported.
-   Run a validation process after importing a batch of product data.
-   Trigger a follow-up action after importing a list of new leads into the CRM.

This trigger helps automate post-import actions, ensuring that workflows are seamlessly initiated once new records are brought into the system.
