Hi All,

I know that pigment has a feature to automate notifications using a metric but is there a way to implement something similar for running Imports? 

Let’s say I checked off a boolean in a metric, is there a way to use that as a trigger for automatic metric to metric import?

The short answer is : You cant

The long answer is : you cant... presently, yet there is still hope. Check this idea and consider upvoting to signal pigment product teams this is useful :

Hi there,

As ​@FPA mentioned, this isn’t currently possible natively within Pigment. However, you can trigger an import via API following the steps in this article

One possible approach would be to capture the notification externally and use it to trigger the import via the API. This would need to be set up outside of Pigment.

Hope this helps!
