The Export Contact Event Data feature lets you extract behavioral and other raw data about events from account-
wid e and campaign-speci fic response activities. For example, logs can tell you on a row-by-r ow basis who was
sent campaign X and when it was sent.
With this information, you can keep your system of record up to date with compliance data or load data into your
reporting system or other third party applications. Once you have exported the data, you can use it for:
Audit tracking
Scrubbing data
Downloading to ex ternal programs
Analyzing campaigns using your analytics or other software
Informa tion is expor ted t o flat te xt files that are available on the Responsys file server associated wit h your
account (fo r examp le, files.responsys.net or files.dc2.responsys.net) for 14 days. You can have the exp or t d ata files
package d in indiv idual ZIP archives and can also specify GPG/PGP encryp tion.
After you run an export for the first time, each subsequent report contains an incremental update of events that
occur red since the last successful expor t. You use the Launch_State values to create a looku p table o f events so
that you can match more recent events to an existing launch record. This is particularly important for triggeredevents where the launch date and send da te are not necessarily the same.
A Contac t Event Data Expor t job lets you select the data you want t o see, the format and locatio n of the expor t
file, and ho w of ten the file is created. Data is only available for 3 0 days, so best prac tice is to run expo rt j obs on a
daily basis.
Alth ough the da ta is available for expor t fro m the database for 30 days, the zip files, once you create them,
are only available on the server for 14 days.
You create and maintain a Contac t Event Data Export j ob the same way as other Interac t Connect Expor t jobs.Al thou gh you can create multipl e Contact Event Data Expor t jobs for each account, you can only have one active
Export Contact Event Data job per Event t ype. For example, you could set up one export job to out put Bounced
Event information and another to outpu t Complaint Event information, but you could not configure t wo active
export jobs to out put Bounced Event informati on.

If you have internati onal characters in your DB, select .
Choose as the delimit er bet ween the fields (columns) in the dow nload file.
You can also choose comm a, semicolon, or pip e as the delimiter, but tabs wo rk best, especially if yo ure
including custom columns.
Choose whether t o enclose text colu mns in single quotes, double qu ote, or none.
Turn on the setting to expo rt column headers as the first line in the
exported fi le.
Choose whether to encrypt or compress your export job as a .zip file (or both).Alt hou gh you can choose not t o com press or encrypt the file, the resulting raw tex t file takes significantly
longer to do wnload (and consumes more stora ge space on your file system and ours).
Choose whether t o create a Ready File for validati on after the file is exporte d. Enter a file extension ifneeded.
The optio ns are none, an empty file, and a record coun t. Use an empty file to validate the comp leti on ofyour do wnload process. Use a record count f i le (recommended) to com pare simple record counts to verify
that all expect ed recor d coun ts were transferred. This is similar to the way the coun t file is used to validate
a job impo rt file. The Ready file and your expo rt jo b have the same name.
7 Click .8 On the page, select whethe r to receive email not ificati on after each job is run, only after a failed job,
or not at all. Enter one or more email addresses if needed. Click .

The new job is listed on t he All Jobs tab.
There are times when the standard Contac t Event Data columns do not cap ture all the data elements you wan t to
report on, or you might need to feed additional information back to your System of Record. For example, you
migh t use the! MasterData/C ONTACT_LIST COUNTRY_ISO3 list column and wan t to include t his informati on in the
Contact Event Data output f i le.
Each account can have up to twelve custom columns. All custom column information per event must fit within a
field defined as varchar2(40 00 ), and must account for XML meta-data used to store the custom- column name-
value pair informati on in the given column. Custom column values are drawn from the Campaigns List or
associated Personalization Data sources as defined in the Campaig n Dashboard.
For more informati on about the Contact Event Data outpu t f i les that support custom columns, seeContact Event
Data Output Files.
The source Event determines how custom column information is captured.

Clicked and Converte d Events The value of the click or conver t event's querystrin g name /value pair.
This is because values set in the click tracking URL at the time of launch
for a campaign are typically better for campaign and recipient tracking
and attri but ion pro jects. Similarly, conversion paramete r values
determined and set at conversion time are typically the appro priate
source of custom field data.
Wh en tracking custo m field values for click events and conver t events, the name in the name-value pair must be
the tar get custo m colum n name. These are the expecte d for mats for links in email campaigns:
For example, if cid, vid, and oid are defined as custom fields, these incomin g values are persisted for this click
event and available for exp ort as Clicked Event da ta. Similarly, custom fields fo r Converte d Events should be
passed as name-value pairs in the conversion t racking URL and wo uld be specified by we bsite code at con version
time.
1 Make sure the desired custom data element /c olumn exists in the List or a Supple mental Data table associatedwith the campaign.
If a column of the same name exists in more than one Supple mental Table for a campaign, make sure the
custom column value is the same everyw here its used.
2 Log in as an admin user and click the link.3 Click .4 Click .5 Enter a name and description (optional) for the new custom column.
Make sure the name is the same as the column name in the List table /o bjec t.
6Click .The configurati on will apply f or all future launches.
Contact Event Data out put files contain infor matio n about each Event transactio n. Each row repr esents one Event
transaction /o ccurr ence. In general, each outpu t file contains data for only one Event Type. However, some outpu t
files contain informati on about multi ple closely related Event Types. For example, the Form Contac t Event Data
contains information about Form submissions and Form views.
Each Contac t Event Data outpu t file is a text flat file delimite d the character you choose: comma, semi-col on, tab,
or pipe character. All rows in the output file are related to your system of record data or reporting data based on
the CUSTOMER_ID value (a unique i dentifier for each recipient ).
For Contact Event Data output f i les that contain information about multiple event ty pes ( for example, the Form
Event Contact Data out put ), each event typ e is identified b y an Event Type ID value.
SeeContact Event Type IDsfor a mapping of Contac t Event Type ID values to their respect ive Event Names and
Ac tions. SeeFile Layoutsfor a descrip tion of the columns in the Con tact Event Data outp ut files.
All ext racted date and ti me values are format ted in Coor dinated Universal Time (UTC) for co nsistency and ease of
com parison. The event infor matio n contained in each Contact Event Data out pu t is the data accumulated since the

last successful Contact Event Da ta extract was prod uced. Therefore, it is quite likely the days Contact Event Data
output file may contain data for more than a single 24-hour period.
The table below pr ovid es a descript ion of each Contact Event, its corresponding data filename, and the typ e of
events or actions captured in the output file.
The output data filename is the name of the final text flat file that co ntains the outp ut data. The filename ofthe file(s) available on the file server depends on your conf igura tion of the Cont act Event Data job; comp ressed
files have a zip extension; encryp ted files have a gp g extension; ready and count files have extensions based on

The LAUNCH_STATE Feed ou tpu t uses a launch_status column to ind icate the launch state at the ti me of theevent t ransaction. Ideally, a series of launch state events will start wi th Build W ork List and finish with Comp lete,
meaning the campaig n launch activi ty co mple ted. These values can appl y to either a campaign or a form.
These are the launch_status values:
N Unknown
R Requested
B Building Wo rk List Creating the final list of recipien ts, accounti ng for reci pients who
are Undeliverable ( the deliverab ility p ermission status), and
opte d-out (if the campaign is a promoti onal campaign). Interactalso identi fies the recipients to skip due to supp ression settings.
