Deliver your data to an Email Address

Deliver your data to an Email Address

You can have the data harvested by your agent(s) delivered to an email address as an attachment.

To do this, follow these 2 steps:

1. Enable email delivery settings globally
2. Enable scraper to deliver data via email

Step 1: Enable email delivery settings globally:

In this step, you are allowing ProWebScraper to deliver data via email for your scrapers. This is what you need to do:

1. Go to “global cloud storage setting”
2. Select tab Email
3. Enable the option “Allow Scraper to email delivery"

Note: If you disable globally, ProWebScraper will stop delivering data via email for all scrapers.

Step 2: Enable scraper to deliver data via email

This step allows the scraper to deliver data in the format you need when the job is finished. Available formats are CSV zip and JSON zip.

1. Go to the scraper that you want to deliver data via email. In this case, we are going to TripAdvisor Review Scraper > Cloud storage 
2. Go to Application > Email
3. Enable the option “Allow Scraper to Email delivery”
4. Choose the file format you want to deliver via email

Congratulations! Now every time your job is finished, ProWebScraper will deliver via email the scraped data of the job.

To test, run scraper where we enabled email to deliver and wait till it’s finished.

Once it’s finished, you will receive an email “scraper job is finished”.

You can download data from email as shown below

Note: If you want to enable delivery for other scrapers, just follow Step 2 only, since global delivery is already enabled

Let’s say, you wish to enable or disable email delivery for multiple scrapers, without going through every scraper.

To do this, 

1. Go to “global cloud storage setting” > email
