Exports and Operational Checks
Use this guide for recurring QA and production validation.Export strategy
Export from matching scope/date filters for:- workspace summaries
- campaign breakdowns
- link-level detail
- conversion/event/customer records
- affiliate commission and payout views
Export readiness checklist
- Confirm workspace/campaign/link scope before export.
- Confirm date range and timezone are final.
- Confirm status filters are intentional.
- Confirm reporting currency context.
- Capture export filename with scope and timestamp.
Export format guidance
Common formats:- CSV for spreadsheet analysis and finance workflows
- JSON for automation pipelines and scripted checks
- keep a shared naming convention with date range + scope
- version controlled reconciliation sheets for monthly close
- never compare exports generated with different filters/timezones
Reconciliation cadence
Recommended rhythm:- daily: traffic and conversion sanity checks
- weekly: campaign economics and partner payout prep
- monthly: billing, retention, and access audit
Weekly operations dashboard checks
Use this quick sequence:- Validate top links and campaigns against expected traffic sources.
- Validate conversion status distribution for unusual spikes.
- Validate affiliate commission and payout queues.
- Validate integration delivery health and retry spikes.
- Validate budget and credit utilization trend.
High-value checks
- scope alignment (workspace vs campaign vs link)
- date/timezone consistency
- status-filter consistency
- currency and cost-model consistency
- partner payout status consistency
Practical runbooks
Runbook: “Revenue looks too high/low”
- Export Conversions with target date range.
- Export Events for same range and filter.
- Confirm status mix (pending vs approved vs refunded/chargeback).
- Confirm currency normalization in reporting context.
- Re-check campaign/link scope filters.
Runbook: “Affiliate payout mismatch”
- Export commissions by status.
- Export payout batches and settlement states.
- Confirm refunded/fraud/cancelled commission exclusions.
- Confirm program/partner filters match payout batch scope.
Runbook: “Customer count lower than conversion count”
- Export conversions and inspect identity fields.
- Check missing customer email/external IDs.
- Confirm dedupe/identity stitching expectations for the source.
Runbook: “Click numbers look right but analytics cards are sparse”
- Confirm you are in the intended tab (Clicks/Leads/Sales/Funnel).
- Confirm date window includes your test traffic period.
- Confirm hidden status filters are not excluding records.
- Confirm campaign/link scope is not overly narrowed.
Runbook: “Export does not match dashboard card exactly”
- Confirm export and dashboard use identical scope and filters.
- Confirm timezone settings match.
- Confirm card uses summary behavior while export uses event rows.
- Re-run export after a short refresh window for convergence.
Incident triage starter
If numbers appear wrong:- capture current filters and scope
- compare exported datasets
- check recent configuration changes (rules, currency, plan, integrations)
- re-run with a fixed date window
Evidence package for support/escalation
Capture these artifacts when escalating:- screenshot of page with visible filters and date range.
- exported file used for reconciliation.
- workspace/campaign/link IDs involved.
- timestamp and timezone of observed issue.
- recent configuration changes in the affected module.
