How long does an import take? 

Starting the import process generally takes 2 to 10 minutes. After you've confirmed the import, the actual importing time can vary between 1 minute to a few hours. This is entirely based on how much data you have in Wrike as well as Wrike's rate limits. 

Since Wrike does rate-limit the import, we have to throttle the speed to ensure we don't hit the rate limit.

We'll send you an email as soon as your import is done!
