Things to Keep In Mind
- Engagement groups are run every 24hrs at 8pm PST. Depending on when you create the engagement group, exports may take up to 24hrs to be available for download.
- Exports are CSV files.
- Prepares one file for Android device IDs (GAID) and one file for iOS device ID (IDFA).
- Downloads are accessible for 30 days. At 30 days, we purge the files, better enabling compliance with GDPR. The download table includes a count down to the expiry of a downloadable file (see text under the download link). Previously expired files are listed without an accessible download link.
