Are there any plans for a dashboard widget that has a similar function as the ‘request data export’ function within the Losant UI (under device actions)? We can’t seem to do this in a way where the end-user isn’t emailed a Losant-branded email with the csv download link. It would be great if the user could just input their target email address and a target timeframe, with the device ID being determined by dashboard context (or from a dropdown). Thanks, Allan. ---

The closest thing we have is the [“Download as CSV” option in the Device State Table](https://docs.losant.com/dashboards/blocks/device-state-table/#download-as-csv) - which is similar but not exactly the same as what you are describing. And we don’t have any plans to add a device data export block to dashboards anytime soon. What you’re trying to accomplish can be done outside of a dashboard within your experience, however. - You can accept a device ID, target email (defaulting to the experience user’s email address), start and end time (as Unix timestamps) in a simple web form. That submission fires a workflow through an [Endpoint Trigger](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/triggers/endpoint/). - Using a [Device: Verify Node](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/experience/device-verify/), you can verify that the user making the request has access to the device they are requesting. You can also validate other parts of the request using a [Validate Payload Node](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/logic/validate-payload/). - Using a [Losant API Node](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/data/losant-api/) and the [Device: Export API action](https://docs.losant.com/rest-api/device/#export), you can request an export using the start and end time provided by the user. - You would also include a `callbackUrl` - and not an `email` - in the request, pointing the `callbackUrl` to a [Webhook](https://docs.losant.com/applications/webhooks/). The email address to where the result should be sent should be encoded as a query parameter on the request. - In a [Webhook Trigger](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/triggers/webhook/), you receive the result of the request, which includes a link to where the data export file can be downloaded. That is then included in the body of an email in a [SendGrid](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/outputs/sendgrid/) or [Mailgun Node](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/outputs/mailgun/), which you then fire off to the email address included in the webhook request. ---

We have a template that demonstrates _some_ of what I described here: [Experience User Dashboard Requests](https://app.losant.com/applications/recent/template-library?templateId=6643bffa73921ccae24a75ef). That template uses a resource job to iterate over experience users and send personalized dashboard export emails on a regular basis. You would want to rip all that out and replace with the endpoint request validation and processing I described previously. But you could then update the Losant API Node to use the Device: Export Action, and everything downstream from there is pretty close to what you need: A webhook to receive the response and the target email address, and a SendGrid Node for pushing the resulting export file out to the user. ---

Many thanks for your reply Dylan, we’ll try the solution with the Losant API Node 🙂
