# Create a new provider profile import

To import a profile from an external source, you must first create an import request. When the request is initiated, the provider profile record will be created with a “Pending” status. When complete, the status will change to “Completed”. 

If the request is successful, the provider profile will have a “Profile" value. If an error occurs, the profile will have a "FailureCode" and "FailureDescription" value.
