# People Import Begin

**POST /People/Update/ImportInit**

This process is an optional step that begins the import process by setting all people to pending before mass importing. Any people records still marked as pending will be disabled when the [/People/Update/Importterm endpoint](#operation-post-people-update-importterm) is called. If this is not called, then people will only be updated and never removed.
*Secret Hmac Required. Do Not Cache this call.
