Recipients - Managing customer data > Export function for recipient data > Auto-Export

Auto-Export

In the navigation bar, under Recipients, you will also find the Auto Export section. Using this function, previously defined exports can be executed at scheduled times. You create a new automatic export in the New Auto Export tab. After entering a Name and Description, you can select an Export profile that has previously been saved under Recipient, Export (see chapter "Export function for recipient data").

Then inform OpenEMM of the File server and the File path for the recipient data to be saved. Make sure that you write this correctly. The file server must be input according to the following syntax:

username:password@domain

For the file path, enter the complete service directory including the filename, for example:

/home/user/file.csv

If you want to execute a one-time export, place a tick next to Execute one time only. Now determine the day and time when the export is to be started. Multiple selection is also possible here – in theory you can execute the export every day at a specific time. Once you have made your selection, confirm it by clicking on Save.

New buttons will now appear next to the Save button. After clicking Activate, the Auto Export is executed at the set time, while Deactivate stops the Auto Export. Clicking on Export recipients makes OpenEMM execute the export immediately and once only.

In the Overview tab, OpenEMM shows you a list of all created Auto Exports including the given description, the file server and the status, which can be set to be either active or inactive. By clicking on a list entry you can edit the corresponding profile as described above. If you no longer need an Auto Export, you can either delete it in the Overview tab by clicking on the wastebasket symbol or also delete it in the detailed settings by means of the Delete button.
