# Start an import job

> Enqueue a background import job for the selected source. Persists the encrypted credentials envelope on a fresh import job, queues the worker, and returns the job id so the wizard can open the progress stream at /imports/{jobId}/progress. Post the same envelope and entity selection used for the dry-run, optionally with a per-entity conflict policy (skip, overwrite, or merge).
