Export Trigger Types

Export Trigger Types

Trigger Types define how the Export process is activated, and there are several options available to suit various needs. Each Trigger Type dictates the mechanism through which the Export is initiated.

Available Trigger Types

API

An API Trigger allows an external system or service to initiate the Export process by sending a request to a consistent API Endpoint in Clevr. The Secret Key associated with the API Trigger contains the necessary details for the request, including the user who generated it and the date of creation. This Key is signed and encrypted, ensuring secure and authenticated access.
Warning
The secret key should be treated in a secure manner and never emailed or shared. If a third party was able to capture a secret key and knew how to access Clevr's API, they would gain access to all data provided by that trigger.

Scheduled

A Scheduled Trigger automatically initiates the Export at specified intervals. This can be configured to run monthly or weekly, with an option to select specific days of the week for execution. Additionally, a specific time of day for execution must be set, and the timezone can be adjusted to match the tenant's configured timezone.

Important Note: Scheduled Exports may experience slight delays if multiple Exports are queued for processing, so while the system aims to run Exports at the configured time, there could be minor deviations.

Each Trigger Type offers a different method of initiating an Export, providing flexibility depending on whether the process should be API-driven or automated through scheduling.
