Data Exports
Data Exports is the one place to download the files you export from Whautomate. When you export clients, form responses, WhatsApp Flow responses, client notes or a broadcast report, the file is built in the background so you can keep working. You get a notification when it is ready, and the file waits for you here.
The Data Exports page is on every plan. The client, form and WhatsApp Flow exports described here need CRM Suite.
