  Confirmation sending can't directly from import. There ARE ways to do it, but it slows down the import considerably, so I'd recommend doing it separately. Here are your options:
  
  ### Bulk confirmation
  
  * When importing, have an easy way to search for the contributions that were just imported. Perhaps that's already possible because of your data. If not, add a custom field "Needs confirmation" to your data, and populate that.
  * Using **Find Contributions**, find the contributions you just imported.
  * From the **Actions** menu, select **Receipts - print or email** and send confirmations as per the [manual receipts documentation](https://docs.civicrm.org/user/en/latest/contributions/manual-receipts-and-thank-yous/).
