Export Data using Workflow

[gnals12]

Hi,

I want to set up a schedule job that queries table 'A' and send the result output to email address first.last@dummycompany.com as txt file or csv.

Is possible to do this kind of activity using workflow in ACC?

Thanks!

Hello @gnals12 

You can use the query activity to pull the data from Table A. Then use the data extraction activity to create a CSV file and finally, you can attach that exported file to delivery.

These two links will guide on how to do the data extraction and configure attachment for the delivery.

Hi Manoj, I have couple questions. Can this be done in one workflow?  what action do I need to do it?

Thanks!

Yes, you can use the scheduler activity to run the workflow on daily basis. Just add scheduler activity in the workflow and configure it to run according to your requirements then add query activity, data extraction and delivery activity

Posted the steps in a different thread. Don't know how to post images in comments.

I am still struggling how to connect 'Data extraction' to 'Delivery'

I want to attach the file that was created in 'Data extraction' to the email delivery.

Hello @gnals12 

Follow these steps to get the uploaded file URL: (double click on point 3)

Once you have the file path Open the delivery and go to attachment and follow these steps: Click on the highlighted area

Let me know if that helps

Hi Manoj, Thanks for detail explanations! Unfortunately, I still have the error message in 'Delivery' action that says "The schema for recipients specified in the transition ('nms:broadLogRcp') is not compatible with the schema defined in the delivery template ('nms:recipient'). They should be identical."

Open the delivery click on to and then select defined in the database and then select your profile from the recipients table.
