This article explains the different ways to export data from Happeo—using APIs, bulk CSV exports, and analytics tools—so admins can manage content, users, and engagement data more effectively.
Exporting data from Happeo
While Happeo does not provide a one‑click full‑data export, it offers flexible tools—especially useful for knowledge management, backup processes, or migrating content to other systems. Depending on your needs, you can use APIs or built‑in export functions via the Admin settings.
Use cases
- Content audits and governance: Quickly generate channel or page lists to see who owns what and how things are shared. Ideal for governance reviews or cross-team audits.
- User management & compliance: Export user lists to reconcile with HR data, track license usage, or perform compliance reviews.
- Performance monitoring & strategic insights: Analytics exports help reveal engagement trends, enabling you to support underused channels and pages, or replicate successful strategies in other teams.
- Automation & integration: API exports allow synchronization with external systems—HR or CRM—enabling deeper organizational insights and workflow automation.
1. Choose the right export method
Open APIs (Enterprise only)
For organizations that need structured access to content and user data, Happeo’s open APIs provide programmatic exports in JSON. This makes it possible to automate reporting, feed data into business intelligence tools, or connect Happeo with HR or CRM systems without manual effort.
Note: Available to Enterprise-package users only. For setup and documentation, reach out to your Customer Success Manager (CSM).
Bulk Exports (via Admin Settings)
From the Admin panel, you can export different types of CSVs that give you a snapshot of your intranet’s setup and activity:
- Channels / Pages CSV: Generate a list of existing channels or pages, including owner, sharing status, and visibility. This helps admins quickly review ownership, track how content is distributed, and identify areas that may need restructuring. Learn more.
- User List CSV: Under User Management, admins can export lists of seated or suspended users. The CSV can be cross-referenced with HR records to keep licenses aligned with headcount changes and maintain compliance. Learn more.
