When you set up an Import Account, basically you are telling our system to look for an import file with a specific name in the import directory of your FTP account. When RescueGroups.org receives an import file, our system will process it and add or update animals in your RescueGroups.org account.

If you are building an import file for your organization, you will need to make sure your import file uses the fields and formatting described in our Animal Import Fields article.
