3. Click Add data import.
4. Fill in the New data import form:
   - for Data provider, select the SSP that provides data;
   - for Segment ID, select the pixel to upload data;
   - for Data Storage, select the location where the data for importing is stored.
   Two options are available S3 (Amazon Simple Storage Service) and URL.
   If you select the URL option, type the Public URL.
   - check Recurring import to have import refresh automatically; check Device based to define mobile device users.
   If you select S3 (Amazon Simple Storage Service), you need to provide some details such as Bucket, Object Path, Access Key, and Secret Key.
5. Click Save to finalize. 

Before importing data from any external sources, you will need to create a Pixel to upload and keep information on the customers.

The structure of the file for the import should look like this:
user_id`\t`segment_id_0`,`segment_id_1`,`…`,`segment_id_N
adbd2f66-2b41-4c49-8b47-ad0e793f6d89    mySegmentId 
8d17234a-effd-4269-a922-41237afb4fb6    kidsSegmentId 
ef3b0c66-1809-4e5e-83d9-8c0b085ea25a    mySegmentId,kidsSegmentId 
ab2f0626-59f4-4124-b3db-019ce7a7a632    someOtherSegmentId

Later when you create a pixel, you need to enter the value of the segment
in the External Segment ID field. For example, if your list for import looks like this:
adbd2f66-2b41-4c49-8b47-ad0e793f6d89    mySegmentId 
8d17234a-effd-4269-a922-41237afb4fb6    mySegmentId
ef3b0c66-1809-4e5e-83d9-8c0b085ea25a    mySegmentId
ab2f0626-59f4-4124-b3db-019ce7a7a632    mySegmentId

Please enter mySegmentId in the External Segment ID field.

1. Go to the Pixels tab in the main menu.
2. Click Add Pixel.
