Standard Exports

In Actito, you can easily extract and transfer your data to use it in third party systems or for other aims.
Actito exporting tools are flexible and comprehensive so that you can define the export parameters that better suits your needs.

You can export two types of data :

  • Data collected/generated by Actito like campaigns interactions (emails sent, emails open...), web tracking (goals reach..), form participations...
  • Data injected by the end user on his database (new and updated profile, new and updated record on a custom table...)

For both types, you can ask to add linked profile's attributes to enrich the original export.

How to deploy an export ?​

All data export can be deployed through Actito portal or by using EXPORTS API.

To understand how to deploy an export through Actito portal, refer to the user documentation.

Via the Exports API, you can only create draft exports. The end-user will then have to activate the draft in the portal.
Furthermore, the end-user can modify the draft if necessary (adding report recipients, adjusting columns to export etc.) before activating the daily execution of the export.

To be able to deploying draft exports through API, there are few requirements :

  • The api key used needs to have the corresponding right for export creation. To have more information about the user API restriction, please, refer to the Access rights section.
  • Data exports files must uploaded to a remote server location (FTPS or SFTP). To declare the configuration and locations of this remote server, please refer to the File Transfer section.

Generality about data export​

  • The result of a data export execution is a flat file (CSV).
  • One file is generated for each activated export.
  • The export frequency is once a day, the generation being launched at the specified time.
Launch time vs availability

In order to process the generated files, it's preferable to schedule exports during the night. Please note that depending on calculation time (volume of data can be huge), files availability on the file transfer server should be few minutes later than the requested export launch time.

Available Out flows​

Actito provides 3 types of data export :

  • One shot exports
  • Periodic full exports
  • Incremental exports

For more information about the data that you can extract and transfer, refer to the following sections of the user documentation:
