Prepare a filtered contact export for campaign review

When campaign list reviews recur, automate the start of a filtered export so the data handoff is easier to pick up.

Action

Create Contact Export

Tool to create a contact export job for a Mailtrap account. Use when you need to export contacts with filters. The export is processed asynchronously - the response includes a job ID and status. Check the status field; when it becomes 'finished', the url field will contain the download link for the exported contacts file. Filters are required - you must specify at least one filter such as subscription_status (subscribed/unsubscribed) or list_id (array of list IDs).

Why this helps

Remembering export filters and starting the job manually adds friction to list reviews and campaign handoffs.

  • Start an export with a required filter such as subscription status or list ID.
  • Make recurring campaign list reviews easier to initiate.
  • Use a consistent process for handing filtered contacts to the next step.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Short.io and Mailtrap to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create a scheduled automation in the portal or ask Notis to prepare a filtered campaign contact export.
  • 3Write one plain-language instruction naming the needed export filter, such as subscription status or a campaign list.
  • 4Choose a cron trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Run one example and confirm the export job starts with the intended filter.

Questions about this workflow

Are filters required?

Yes. Mailtrap requires at least one filter, such as subscription status or list ID.

Does the export finish immediately?

No. The action starts an asynchronous job; use the export status action to check completion and retrieve the download link.
