Exports and destinations

Your data is yours, and leadmaps makes it easy to take it with you. The Exports page lets you pull your raw events out as a file whenever you want, so you can open them in a spreadsheet, load them into a business-intelligence tool, or keep an archive for your records. This is the honest, portable side of leadmaps: nothing is locked in.

Think of it like downloading your own bank statement. The reports in leadmaps are the summaries. The export is the full ledger, every line, in a plain file you own.

What you see

• A page under Settings for exports, where you request a file of your events for a date range and download it when it is ready.
• A choice of format so the file drops straight into whatever you use next, whether that is a spreadsheet or a data tool.
• A monthly allowance. Every plan can export, and the number of exports you can run each month grows with your plan, from a single export on the entry plans up to many on Business. If you need to pull data often, that is a reason to move up a plan.

How to read it

An export is a request, not a live number. You pick what you want, ask for it, and download the file. The file itself is the raw truth: one row per event, with the details attached, exactly as leadmaps recorded them.

Here is the shape of it. You choose a date range, choose a format, and request the export. leadmaps prepares the file and you download it. Open it in your spreadsheet or load it into your tool, and you have every event from that range to slice however you like, well beyond what the built-in reports show.

Customize it

• Pick the date range. Export just the window you need. A narrow range keeps the file small and quick; a wide range gives you everything for a deeper analysis.
• Pick the format. Choose the format that matches where the data is going next, so it loads without extra cleanup.
• Mind your monthly allowance. Each plan includes a set number of exports per month. Plan your pulls, and if you find yourself hitting the limit, that is the signal to move to a plan with a bigger allowance.

Coming soon: automatic destinations

Beyond pulling a file by hand, leadmaps is building ways to send your events onward on their own, so your data lands in your systems without anyone downloading anything. This includes continuous sync into a data warehouse such as BigQuery or Snowflake, and recurring scheduled exports to your own storage, both aimed at the Business plan.

These automatic destinations are still being wired up. You may see them in the settings, but they do not yet deliver data, so do not rely on them for a live pipeline. Until they are switched on, the one-time export above is the way to get your data out. This page will say so plainly the moment they go live.

Use cases

• Analyze in a spreadsheet. Export a date range, open it in your spreadsheet tool, and build a pivot or a chart the built-in reports do not offer. Action: use the export whenever a question needs a cut of the data leadmaps does not show on screen.
• Keep a compliance archive. Export on a regular cadence and store the files where your records live. Action: a periodic export gives you an independent copy of your data for audits or retention rules.
• Feed a BI tool. Pull the raw events into the tool your team already uses for reporting. Action: for a one-off or occasional load, the file export is the simplest path today.

Tips

• The export is the raw data, not a summary. It is one row per event. That is what makes it powerful, and also why a wide range can be a large file.
• Every plan can export; the allowance is what differs. If you export often and keep hitting the monthly limit, a higher plan is the fix.
• For a live, always-on pipeline into a warehouse, wait for the automatic destinations to go live rather than scripting around the one-time export. This page will be updated when they are ready.
• Your data belongs to you. If you ever leave, the export is how you take everything with you, in a plain, open format.
