Hello,
Please could I kindly request for some recommendations on how to go about bulk extracting data from Salesforce Marketing Cloud, formerly known as, ‘Exact Target’ into another data storage system without paying for an additional licence?
Any ideas or recommendations on how to go about doing this?
Thank you in advance.
Hello! you can use the Data Extract activity in Automation Studio to generate a file that can be utilized outside of the application. Then configure a file transfer activity to retrieve your data extract file from the Safehouse and transfer it to your FTP location.
After that, you will need FTP access to extract the generated file to your external system.
Here are the steps:
- Create an automation
- Create the Data Extract activity
- Create the File Transfer activity
- Run the automation
