You can import geofence polygons in KML and KMZ formats. It's also possible to import circular geofences using CSV files.
Before importing your geofences, you should know:
- For importing geofences as polygons, only KML/KMZ format should be used and should be polygons without holes.
- It is possible to import circular geofences only through CSV files. We also recommend importing circular geofences using the REST API method.

- Self-intersecting polygons will be skipped. Self-intersecting polygons look like:
