Create Your Own Export

  1. Click on "Add Own Export".

  2. Give the feed a unique name. This name will appear in all reports and analyses.

    • If you want to copy an existing import and only change a few settings, proceed as follows after clicking the button:

      • Select "New Feed from copy".

        • IMPORT

          • Copy the settings from an import

        • EXPORT

          • Choose the settings you want to copy.

            • Data Field Mapping

            • Export Settings

            • Filter

Click on "Create Your Export".

You will be redirected back to the "Export Overview". Then click on the three dots on the right-hand side of the feed you want to configure.

Configure Export

Click the three dots on the right.

Here you have two options. You can:

  • Edit the export

  • Delete the export

If you click on "Edit Export", you’ll be taken to the Export Settings page.

More information about deleting exports can be found further down on the page.

There are different settings for your export.

  1. At the top right, you can "Trigger Export".

  2. Click the three dots at the top right to "Rename Export" or "Delete Export".

Export Overview

Here you’ll see an overview of...

  • when the last export occurred

  • when the export was last updated

  • You’ll find a link to your feed here. You can:

    • copy it to your clipboard, or

    • download it (the feed will be saved to your PC according to the configuration in your "Export Settings").

You can also apply "Filters" to your exports here. If you haven't created any filters yet, or need a special filter for this export only, you can create new filters directly here.

Detailed information on "Filters" can be found on our help page at:

Data Mapping

Unlike "Channel Exports", there are no "mandatory attributes" here.

Click on "Edit Settings" to adjust the attributes (i.e. data fields) to your needs.

  1. Click the "+" to add a data field.

    An additional field will be added to the table.

  2. Rename the data field by clicking on the name of the "Export Field".

    • The name must be unique within your feed

    • The name should be descriptive enough, so the content is easily identifiable

  3. Choose the appropriate data source. You can choose between:

    • Data field from feeds

    • Custom data fields (if available)

    • Global data field

      • In field mapping, you've matched the data fields from your import to our global data fields. Click here for more information.

    • Filter

    • Fixed value

    A preview of the selected data field will instantly appear on the right-hand side.

  4. You can delete or copy a data field using the icons on the right side of the respective field.

  5. When everything is correct, click on "Save Changes".

Actions in Export Data Fields

Enable automatic actions (if available) using the checkbox in the row, as shown in the video.

Example: Google expects the price in ISO 4217 format → Channel Pilot Pro will automatically export it in this format when the action is enabled.

You can find all information on the topic of "Tags" here:

Delete own Export

An export can only be deleted if it is “inactive.”

There are two ways to “deactivate” an export.

  • In the export overview, set the slider so that it appears greyed out.

  • In the export schedule, set the interval to “Paused.”

After that, there are two ways to “delete” the export.

  • In the export overview, click on the three dots and select “Delete Export

  • Within your export, click on the three dots in the top right and select “Delete Export

Then confirm the warning message and your export will be deleted.

Note: A deleted export cannot be restored. All data, settings, and connections will be permanently lost when deleted.

So think carefully about whether you really want to delete the export, or if deactivating it is sufficient.
