### Automatic data import

Automatic import jobs let you synchronize your external distribution list with Optimizely Campaign's recipient lists. You can decide whether the import should take place daily, weekly or monthly.

The file is transmitted via SCP and stored on a server provided by Optimizely. The import to your client is handled automatically. You receive a success notification after each import.

Optimizely Campaign supports [automatic recipient list imports](https://world.optimizely.com/documentation/developer-guides/campaign/scheduled-jobs/recipient-import-job/), [automatic blocklist imports](https://world.optimizely.com/documentation/developer-guides/campaign/scheduled-jobs/blocklist-import-job/) and [unsubscriber imports](https://world.optimizely.com/documentation/developer-guides/campaign/scheduled-jobs/unsubscriber-import-job/).

### Automatic data export

The automatic recipient export writes list entries from Optimizely Campaign to a CSV file and stores it on a server provided by Optimizely. You can then download the CSV file automatically or manually from this server.

Optimizely Campaign supports [automatic recipient list export](https://world.optimizely.com/documentation/developer-guides/campaign/scheduled-jobs/recipient-export-job/), [automatic blocklist export](https://world.optimizely.com/documentation/developer-guides/campaign/scheduled-jobs/blocklist-export-job/), [automatic unsubscriber exports](https://world.optimizely.com/documentation/developer-guides/campaign/scheduled-jobs/unsubscriber-export-job/) and [outbounced recipients exports](https://world.optimizely.com/documentation/developer-guides/campaign/scheduled-jobs/outbounced-recipient-export-job/).
