Distinguish new data connector imports from duplicates

Some of the files your users import from a connected account may already be in the platform from an earlier import. You can now show accurate counts, such as “3 imported, 2 already added,” instead of treating every file as new.

Each item returned by the Import files and Retrieve an import methods now includes a field named action that indicates the outcome of the import operation. Previously, a file skipped as a duplicate was indistinguishable from a new import while it was processing, because both showed the processing status. Imports created before this release do not include the action field. For details on its possible values, see the Item actions section on The import object page.
