Import Your Pipeline
By accessing the Import Pipeline page, the tenant's System Admin as well as other users with roles that have the permission to access the option can migrate automation ideas recorded in other software solutions into Automation Hub to create and keep one centralized pipeline.
To access it go to Admin Console > Platform Setup > Import Pipeline.
When accessing the Import Pipeline page for the first time you can find the following:
- The Set Up section containing the Download CSV Template and Upload CSV buttons allowing you to download the Automation Hub specific CSV template, completing it with the details for your ideas, and uploading it back to Automation Hub.

The Notes sections providing more explanations to help you import your ideas.
To start importing your ideas to Automation Hub follow the steps below:
