# Scheduling exports

Order Export Manager allows users to schedule imports. If you schedule import of a given template, it would execute at this time.

{% hint style="danger" %}
You can schedule imports only for following file sources: URL, Server folder or file, FTP, SFTP, FTPS.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
If there are no orders to be exported when scheduled export is run, file **will not** be created.
{% endhint %}

## When is this useful

You can set up automatic exports from other software solutions that you use for e-commerce and enable scheduled imports in Import Manager. So, if you add a product in other place, it would automatically import to nopCommerce.

This tool provides endless spectrum of automation that you can perform.

## How to schedule an import

In order to schedule an import you should go to **Scedule Settings** tab of your export template.
