What is an export pipeline and why does it matter?

An export pipeline automatically moves job data to accounting, CRM, mail and other systems so jobs close faster, invoices go out on time, technicians stay on schedule and marketing has accurate lists, delivering measurable savings and fewer missed upsell chances.

Which CSV fields should I include in job exports?

Start with a short template that drives action: job_id, date, technician, route, service, materials, payment_status. Optionally include invoice_id, mail_segment, customer_id and location_id. Keep headers stable and use ISO date formats.

When should I use event driven exports versus scheduled batches?

Use event driven exports on job close for immediate actions like invoicing or triggering mail. Use scheduled batches for nightly summaries, reconciliation and bulk mail list generation.

How do I map exports to downstream systems like QuickBooks, HubSpot or PostcardMania?

Map each CSV header to the system field (for example job_id -> dispatch.jobId, invoice_id -> accounting.invoiceId, mail_segment -> marketing.segmentId). Send exports via HTTP POST, S3 upload or a queue and use connectors or lightweight scripts, Make Zapier or serverless functions to push data into QuickBooks HubSpot or mail vendors.

How can I use exports for direct mail and attribute responses?

Derive postcard lists from completed jobs using simple rules such as service type or last visit date. Trigger sends from event exports or nightly batches and include tracking codes on postcards so responses can be attributed back to job records in the CRM.

What KPIs should I track to measure pipeline performance?

Track a small set of weekly KPIs such as time to invoice, campaign conversion rate (postcard responses that become jobs), margin per job, route accuracy and postcard response rate. Keep charts short and actionable.

How do I avoid vendor lock in and maintain governance?

Own scripts and mappings in an internal repo or serverless function, store a canonical CSV in a shared bucket, version headers, keep changelogs, log every export and maintain a short audit trail and rollback option. Use standard formats like CSV or JSON and include tests for transform scripts.
