Add a new Automation feature: Scheduled Exports. Based on an export list and a domain, an email is sent every X hours/days/weeks/months to a selection of users.

Table of contents

Configuration

The configuration of a scheduled export is based on export lists.

To create an export list:

  • open the list view of the model to export
  • select at least one record, and open «Action → Export»
  • select the fields to export and save using «Save fields list».

To configure a scheduled export:

  • open «Settings → Technical → Automation → Scheduled Exports»
  • create a scheduled export by filling the form

A Scheduled Action named «Send Scheduled Exports» checks every hour if Scheduled Exports have to be executed.

Usage

When the configuration of a Scheduled Export is done, their execution is automatic.

Users will receive an email containing a link to download the exported file at the specified frequency. The attachments stay in the database for 7 days by default (it can be changed with the system parameter attachment.ttl.

Known issues / Roadmap
