Import to Suppression Lists

ImportToSuppressionListTasks collection allows scheduling (asynchronous) imports to suppression lists. Subscribers are imported from an external source, e.g. file stored on FTP server. 

Currently, only one-time, immediately executed imports are supported. 

Executing a GET request on ImportToSuppressionListTasks collection allows polling for scheduled import status (e.g. if it is still in progress or already finished).
