Introduction

Turtl analytics dashboards allow you to monitor the performance of your content, however, for a more customized solution, Turtl also supports daily transfer of all data points collected in read reports into an external analytics platform of your choice, e.g. Tableau, Power BI, etc.


Why set up scheduled data delivery?

This automated process makes it easy to integrate Turtl data into your current analytics workflows, making sure you always have the latest information for thorough analysis.

  • Since Turtl Docs continuously collect analytics data, it’s helpful to automatically and regularly import it into other platforms, eliminating the need for manual intervention.

  • By receiving data in an external analytical platform, you can use familiar tools with customizable features and dashboards designed to your specific needs.

  • Consolidating analytics data from various online channels and services into one platform simplifies data comparison and analysis.

  • It enables your analytics or marketing experts to use this data without needing to log in to Turtl or require a license.


How does it work?

Every day, Turtl sends raw reads data exports as CSV files to your storage container. You can choose to receive these files in one of the following locations:

An example of the generated CSV can be found here. Each CSV file contains data from the previous day. The delivery process begins at 7 AM UK time and continues sequentially. The exact timing may vary slightly depending on the queue and complexity of the data delivery job.

Note: As mentioned above, supported report types include daily reads, but also any custom analytics report we can make available for download. As scoping is required to determine what Turtl data should be included in the report, please get in touch with professional-services@turtl.co for a quote.
