USE CASES FOR CLOUD PAGES

 USE CASES FOR CLOUD PAGES

WE ARE STORING DATA INTO DATA EXTENSIONS WHEN SUBSCRIBERS SUBMITS THE FEEDBACK FORM. MARKETERS WANTS TO RECEIVE AN EMAIL DAILY WITH THE FEEDBACK COLLECTED ON A DAILY BASIS TO TAKE  MARKET DECISIONS

Create an automation to do the data extract from the said data extension and transfer the file to FTP as csv file.
In your email you have to use AttachFile()  Ampscript function to attach the file in the email, if not enabled you have raise a SF ticket.
 
Automation activity, 1. Data Extract 2.File transfer and 3. Email Send Activity


I CREATED THE AUTOMATION AND FOLLOWED THE STEPS MENTIONED ABOVE BUT THE FILES THEY ARE RECEIVING ARE EITHER CORRUPTED OR NOT SHOWING DATA CORRECTLY
NEITHER THE AUTOMATION IS THROWING AN ERROR DURING RUN. HOW SHOULD I TROUBLESHOOT, IF AM DOING ANYTHING WRONG?

Please check the following 

1. What is your file naming pattern?

2. What is your data extract type?

3. If its a data extension extract have you clicked on the "text qualified"?

4. Which FTP are you transferring the file? 

 

When your are doing data extension extract, make sure you select the checkbox "Text qualified" in the configuration step, so that all line breaks are in quote as a single string and this might be the potential issue of your file being corrupted.


ALSO, Add an extra step to convert the file to UTF-8 after the data extract.
