Automated Data Exports

How to Create and Manage Automated Data Exports in the Console

Automated Data Exports allow users to export MAIDs derived from exposures to a pre-configured S3 bucket, LoopMe, or Liveramp Destination.

Creating A Data Export

  • To get started with creating a data export, travel to any existing campaign and click on the export tab or to the Exports page found in the navigation side bar and click the + Create Export button.
  • If a Destination has been configured previously, there will be an option to select an existing destination. If an expected Destination is not visible, please reach out to your account manager or support team to have it configured.
  • If creating a new Destination:
    • Enter the Destination name and an optional description.
    • Select the S3 bucket where your exported data will be delivered. All delivery buckets are set up and managed by our Sales & Solutions Engineers (SSEs). If you don't see your bucket listed, please reach out to your account manager or support team to have it configured.
    • Select the desired file format of the delivery files from the dropdown. If exporting to LiveRamp, the user must select the LiveRamp file format from the dropdown but this format option must not be used for other destinations.
    • Enter an optional delivery path within the bucket where files will be stored. If left empty, files will be placed in an export partition in the root of the bucket.
  • When creating exports from the New Export Page, an associated Campaign must be selected.
  • The default delivery cadence is On Change. If daily deliveries are preferred, change the default cadence value in the dropdown from On Change to Daily.
  • Enter an optional segment name for this export. Note: Liveramp exports require a segment name.
  • If extra columns should be included in the export file, select them from the dropdown. Users can either select an existing option, if available, or add their own columns.
  • Once the form has been completed, click Create Export button to create the export.

Managing Data Exports

  • Data exports can be paused or resumed from the Exports table found on the Exports page or the Exports tab of any associated Campaign.
  • Data exports can be deleted. Note: This deletion is permanent and can not be reversed.

Data Export Delivery Examples

  • S3 Delivery:
    • When files are delivered to the preconfigured bucket, the export ID and supplied file path are used to place the files within that bucket. If the Named CSV file format is selected, the delivery will arrive in a single file eg: s3://delivery_bucket/file_path/export_id/file. If other file formats are selected, multiple files will be created eg: s3://delivery_bucket/file_path/export_id/*.
      • If the user selected a previously configured bucket located at s3://delivery_bucket, entered a delivery path of /example/test/path, and selected the Named CSV file format, they could expect the file to be located here s3://delivery_bucket/example/test/path/<export_id>/export_<unique_id>.csv.
      • If the user selected a previously configured bucket located at s3://delivery_bucket, did not enter a delivery path, and selected the Parquet file type, they could expect the files to be located here s3://delivery_bucket/<export_id>/*.parquet.
  • LoopMe
    • All files are delivered to a pre-configured LoopMe bucket.
    • We will communicate the export ID to the user's LoopMe account manager.
  • LiveRamp Delivery
    • All files are delivered to a pre-configured Liveramp bucket.
    • The required segment name will be included.
