Incremental Exports Feature

Incremental Exports

DataChamp offers incremental exports, allowing you to export only new data since the last report run. This feature simplifies data management and ensures that you don’t duplicate previously exported records.

Goal of This Guide:

We will configure an incremental export to:

• Export the "Name" column from orders (order number).
• Export only fulfilled orders.
• Set up an automated daily export.
• Ensure only new fulfilled orders are included in each export.

Steps to Set Up an Incremental Export

1. Configure Your Report

• Select the data fields you need ( e.g., order number, fulfillment status).

2. Apply Filters

• Filters speed up exports and prevent limitations from Shopify or DataChamp.
• Set the date filter: Select orders updated "since the last 2 days."
• Filter by fulfillment status and choose "Fulfilled."
  

3. Enable Incremental Export Mode

• Switch the Export Mode to "Incremental."
  

4. Preview the Result

• Click on the "Preview Button" to check to result of the report.

5. Save & Schedule the Report

• Save your report.
• In the report overview, find "Set Scheduler" and set it to "Daily."
  
  

Testing the Incremental Export

To verify that incremental exports work correctly, we can run a test:

1. Manually trigger the export at different times, for example:

• 09:16 AM
• 09:17 AM

2. Open the Export History
   

• As shown in the screenshot below, the first export at 09:16 AM contains 7 items, while the second one at 09:17 AM contains none:

• With a new order in the system, the export will capture just that one fulfilled order:
