History

The History tab includes two sub-tabs:

  • Your organization’s SEP

The CRM or SEP listed in the dropdown is the name of the CRM or SEP integrated with Sales Intelligence.

The type of export you select determines the information listed.

  • Export (export source)

  • Total records exported

  • Number of credits you used for each export

You can download the same CSV file again for a particular export by clicking on the download button at the end of each listed export.

CRM or SEP Export: CRM or SEP export information includes:

  • Export source

  • Total records exported

  • Columns indicating the number of records that were successfully exported, skipped, or didn’t export

  • Number of credits you used for each export

  • Overall export status

You can download the records that succeeded, failed, or were skipped as a CSV file by clicking the download button next to the count for each of these record status types. The download button for these record status files appears when you hover near the record count.

FAQ

Q: How do I log in to Sales Intelligence?

A: Log in to SI the same way you log in to the ABM platform.

Q: How do I log out of Sales Intelligence?

A: Log out of SI by clicking on user preferences (the circle with your initials top right of the Sales Intelligence application). Log out is the last item in the dropdown menu that appears.

Q: When is the export of a record skipped?

A: A record can be skipped because:

  • The record is up-to-date — there’s no net new information to update.

  • Exporting the record requires including mandatory information we can’t provide or a mandatory action that would cause the export to fail or be useless. For example:

    • Exporting a Contact Record: The export is skipped when the export requires including an account, and we can’t find or create an account in the CRM.

    • Exporting to an SEP: To export a contact record to an SEP, the export has to include an email. If you export contact records without email addresses, then those records are skipped.

Q: Why has a particular record that I tried to export not exported?

A: To understand why a single record failed to export or was skipped, hover over the information icon (the “i”) that follows the overall status for a brief explanation.

Hover on information icon for tooltip reason for skip or failure

To analyze the results of multiple export record failures, review the reasons by exporting the CSV of failed or skipped records.
