Re-export survey responses to recover missing exports and keep survey data in sync

By default, survey responses are automatically exported to other services using the "Export" feature configured in your survey campaigns.

In some situations, a response may not be exported automatically. This can happen if:

  • An integration was temporarily disconnected

  • An export attempt failed due to an error

  • Survey responses were imported manually into Retently

  • Export settings were added or changed after responses were collected

When this happens, you can manually re-export one or multiple survey responses from the "Feedback" page.

Re-export a single survey response

  1. Go to the "Feedback" page in your Retently account.

  2. Locate the survey response you want to re-export.

  3. Click the menu icon on that response.

  4. Select Re-export response.

  5. Choose one of the available export destinations.

The list of destinations is based on the services configured in your campaign’s "Export" section.

Once selected, Retently will re-export the response using the same field mappings defined in that export configuration. This includes fields such as rating, text feedback, notes, last response date, and any other enabled attributes.

Re-export multiple survey responses at once

  1. Go to the "Feedback" page.

  2. Select multiple survey responses using the checkboxes.

  3. An action bar will appear at the top of the page.

  4. Click Re-export from the action menu.

  5. Choose the destination service.

All selected responses will be re-exported using the existing export configuration for that service.

Available export destinations

You can only re-export responses to services that are already configured and switched ON in the campaign’s Export settings.

If a service does not appear in the list, make sure:

  • The integration is connected

  • The export is enabled in the campaign

  • The export configuration is correctly saved

Check export status and troubleshoot issues

Each survey response includes an export status icon.

  • Hover over the icon to see where the response was exported, whether automatically by the campaign or manually by a team member

  • The tooltip also shows export attempts and success or failure status

This makes it easy to troubleshoot export issues for individual responses and confirm whether data was successfully sent to the connected service.
