Schedule data exports

[David_MacKenzie]

Is there a way to regularly schedule automatic csv exports of (multiple) device data? thx

@David_MacKenzie,

We have a few options for you to explore for device data exports. Take a look a the below forum threads for how we’ve approached this in the past.

Export device state to CSV > FTP

Hi Paul! Below is the reworked workflow with the CSV node. The only other change (aside from the CSV node) is the addition of the Losant API node to get my device state data. [44%20AM] [55%20AM] And I still receive my CSV attachment! [02%20AM] Thanks, Julia

Bulk csv export of device data?

It’s super easy to export individual device data via the Devices-> Data -> Request data export option. Is there an equivalent export request for a group of devices? I’ve tried the Data Explorer by selecting a group of devices by a Tag but it seems to freeze the browser. Thanks Paul

Our best recommendation since you’re looking to export multiple devices would be to configure Notebooks and use the Request Input Data export resource. Losant has compiled some good examples of Notebooks here.

We built up a test notebook configuration and sample workflow to execute a scheduled data export. See below. If you modify the trigger in the workflow to be a Timer - you can set up the frequency at which you want to run the export.

Let me know if this doesn’t work for your use case.

Thanks
