mailerpress/track-import-progress polls the status of an ongoing import batch, returning processed and total counts plus per-chunk status.
It is the companion to mailerpress/import-contacts, which returns before it finishes.

How it works
An import that stops making progress is almost always Action Scheduler rather than MailerPress — the same failure mode as a stalled campaign send, and with the same signature: chunks pending with nothing processing them.
The per-chunk status is what distinguishes that from an import failing on its data. Chunks marked failed have hit validation errors on individual rows; chunks sitting pending have not been picked up at all.
Those have different fixes. Failed chunks are retried with mailerpress/retry-import-batch; pending chunks need the scheduler looking at.
The processed count against the total is the progress bar. An import that is genuinely running moves between polls; one that is stuck does not.
Read-only and cheap enough to poll.
Input

|---|---|---|---|
batch_id | integer | Yes | The import batch. |
What comes back
| Name | Type | What it is |
|---|---|---|
processed | integer | Rows processed so far. |
total | integer | Rows in total. |
chunks | array | Per-chunk status. |
success | boolean | Whether the call completed. |
message | string | A one-line summary of what happened, suitable for showing a human. |
error_code | string | Present only on failure — a stable machine-readable reason, such as a missing field, a wrong field type or an unmet confirmation. |
Example
Ask your assistant:
How is that import going?
It resolves to one call:
{
"ability": "mailerpress/track-import-progress",
"parameters": {
"batch_id": 12
}
}Worth knowing
- Pending chunks mean Action Scheduler; failed chunks mean data.
- The two have different fixes.
- Progress moving between polls is the test for whether it is running.
- Read-only.
