Reading a Post Out Log Report
When you generate a Post Out Log Report in the Demand Acceleration Platform, you will receive an email prompt to download the report. Click the link to download the report in .csv spreadsheet format.
The dataset consists of:
- Data from leads uploaded to a Source(s).
- Demand Acceleration Platform data added when the associated Campaign/Source was created (see: the setup tabs in Build Basics).
- Systems data received from 3rd party inbound (ie. Social and Webinar integrations) and outbound systems (ie. Marketing Automation or CRM systems).
- Automatically generated metadata by the Demand Acceleration Platform.
| You will see one log (line item in the spreadsheet) for each post out attempt. This may result in multiple logs per lead, if more that one post out attempt was made. |
| You might find it helpful when reviewing this report to highlight the duplicate LeadID and sort the data by Timestamp then LeadID. This will show you leads that have been posted out more than once, and indicate the most recent post out attempt. |
The type of data exported usually contains: Post out string, Response from Marketing Automation or CRM system, Timestamp.

| Reporting start and end dates are in UTC and based on the leads' Updated Timestamp. When generating a report, be sure to select a timeframe that includes the data you are looking to collect or review. |
