Listrak's Data Export tool allows you to easily export delimited subscriber and email activity data to your FTP or Listrak's FTP.

💡 Listrak is working to update to export the support SMS imports and additional data. Learn more about the Recurring Data Export integration.

Exported reports are processed early in the morning and will include data from the previous calendar day.

Subscriber data includes: email address, email key, subscription action (subscribed/unsubscribed), subscribed or unsubscribed data, and profile fields. Email activity includes: send, open, click, bounce, and unsubscribe data. You can also export data such as a contacts universal email key and external campaign IDs if these are configured for your messages.

Listrak's supported protocols are: FTP and SFTP. Learn more about each protocol here.
