# /bulkImportJobs

`POST /bulkImportJobs`

Initiates a bulk import job by specifying the url for a zipped, delimited file, of no more than 20MB. A bulk import job can update and/or create multiple data types including, but not limited to, `Contacts`, `Contributions`, and `ActivistCodes`. For a complete list of supported types, see the [resources](https://docs.ngpvan.com/reference/bulk-import#bulkimportjobsresources) endpoint.

The zipped file can contain both update and creation records for a single resource type. It can also contain a header row. The header row is only there as a debugging aid, and is not used by the import process. See Property `hasHeader` in the [File](https://docs.ngpvan.com/reference/file-loading-jobs) object for more information on headers.

When the bulk import job is updating resources, if any non-required columns are left blank, those fields will not be updated. This process cannot be used to delete information; it can only update or create.
