Key benefits

Automated Exports allow you to make meaningful use of your data outside of AppTweak:

  • Send AppTweak and console data to your data warehouse to keep all your data in a single place, without needing to log into AppTweak.

  • Build custom reporting dashboards with your own BI tool using an adapted format.

  • Export and send updates via Slack or email.

For companies looking for an automated and effective approach to data management, Automated Exports are for you:

  • Automated process: Set up your automated data exports to save time and effort.

  • Granular data: Access an extensive collection of every dataset, providing more detailed information for your analysis.

  • Big needs: Want to export large sets of data? Get them sent directly to your data warehouse (AWS S3 or Google Cloud Storage).

  • Historical data: Get up to 3 years of integration data and AppTweak data.

Overview

Plan & pricing

  • You can purchase the Automated Exports feature with or without an ASO Intelligence plan. Learn more about Automated Exports pricing.

  • If you do not have an ASO Intelligence subscription, you will only be able to export integration data. If you also want to export AppTweak's ASO data, you will need an active ASO Intelligence plan.

Prerequisites

  • To export your data, you'll need valid console integrations in your default AppTweak workspace, or to have followed apps in ASO Intelligence.

Limitations

  • You cannot filter out followed apps from a data source to be exported. If a dataset from a data source is selected, the data for all apps will exported.

  • You can configure 1 export per workspace with business plans (Monthly or Weekly). If you want multiple destinations or different datasets per export, this is part of the Enterprise plan.

Free trial

Experience Automated Exports with a 7-day free trial. During this period, you can obtain samples and export up to 14 days of data directly to Slack or Email.


Getting started with Automated Exports

Configuration

To configure an Automated Export, go to the menu section "Automated Exports" on the left. You'll either have an active subscription, or you'll need to start a free trial to access this feature.

⚠️ Configuration is specific to each workspace. This means that each workspace will only be able to export data for its specific set of apps.

The workspace you select will determine the apps appearing in the "DATA EXPORTED" section.

Export format

Due to the potentially large size of exports, the data will be made available via a link to download a ZIP file. Unzipping the file will provide each dataset in CSV format. For destinations such as AWS S3 and Google Cloud Storage, files can be sent in uncompressed CSV format upon request.

Step-by-step: Setting up Automated Exports

1. Check your plan

  • To make sure you have access to Automated Exports, go to Account Settings > Manage Subscription to verify your subscription. If you want to try the feature out first, start a 7-day free trial.

2. Navigate to Automated Exports

3. Select your frequency

  • In the frequency section, decide whether you'd like to have monthly, weekly, or daily exports and update your plan accordingly.

  • If you're on a trial, you can start with a Monthly plan and try the feature out with "Get sample" to immediately receive your data.

4. Select your destination

  • Select your destination (email or Slack) and add up to 5 different recipients or Slack channels. For data warehouse solutions (part of Enterprise plans), set this up with our team. Make sure to only share your data with destinations you trust.

5. Select your datasets

  • The data made available is linked to the workspace you're currently navigating on. Based on each data source, select the files you would like to export.

  • When trying the feature out, select the workspace on which you have the most followed apps or integrations to get richer data.

6. Get a sample

7. Save your export

  • Validate the steps above by saving your configuration. Click "Save changes" to finalize set-up. The badge "Next export on" will indicate when you can expect to receive your next export.
