# dataImports.suggest

Suggest a column of a connected database (Notion) for each field of an import target, with a sample value per column, the status options found, and the mapping remembered for that database. Supply target, source and databaseId. A column whose name says it holds payment or tax details is marked sensitive, has no sample or options, and is never suggested or imported.
