Hi Bharath,

I did a quick scan and looks like data loader is the only app which can be scheduled out of all the ways listed to import data in salesforce:

Any particular reason for not considering data loader for scheduling..?

As an alternative, you can use automate uploading data to Salesforce with Skyvia (https://skyvia.com/data-integration/salesforce-data-loader)- it is a no-code data integration product with a freemium model.
