Changes records - massive/batch creation

HI
We received an internal request to create massive number of changes requests and to be included into the current workflow.
I was trying to find out documentation and tricks regarding this task and I didn't find anything.

I am assuming (maybe I am wrong) that inserting new records into the Change tables where a workflow is synchronized/running with each record needs some kind of particular considerations

Is there any best practice or consideration needs to be taken to execute this task?
What could be the best method to import/create many changes at the same time? Import set is a correct option for this use case? if that the case how pre setup the workflow?

Thanks in advance for advice and help

Regards

Note: not sure if this forum is the correct one to ask this Thanks for help me to address the question to the correct one

As far as I can tell the workflow is attached on creation of the change based on type field (normal, standard, emergency). So I would think you could import the records using an import set and as long as you have the type field set correctly it should work. Note you should test this in a subprod instance to be sure.

Thanks for your response Brian. Yes I have to test that.
but I just realized that we have a customized WF with parameters .... so will probably need some extra script running at the import moment to setup those parameters.. need to dig more on it
