 * I am using participants database for a directory and would periodically like 
   to overwrite the directory with a more up to date copy. Is it possible to automate
   this process? At the moment I can only find a manual import csv option.
 * I am using the plugin in a restricted area of the website so there is no point
   providing a link for it.
 * The plugin is great for my purpose if I can find a solution to this problem.
 * Many thanks
 * Zoe

 * The plugin doesn’t have a way to set up an automatic import. In fact, this is
   a very technical question, you’d need to have an IT person set this up on your
   server. Really, the only way to do this is to bypass the plugin altogether and
   set up an automatic import to the database directly. You’ll still need to solve
   the problem of how to make the fresh data available to the server. That all depends
   on where this fresh data is coming from and what form it is in.
 * Usually, after all that, it’s more trouble than it’s worth.
