Automating Recurring Customer Data Exports

Overview
Though Laywork doesn’t yet natively schedule exports, you can automate recurring data dumps using a simple script or integration.

Steps (Conceptual)

1. Use Laywork’s API to GET the /customers endpoint.

2. Write a small script (in Python, Node.js, etc.) to call this endpoint and save the JSON or CSV.

3. Schedule the script via cron (Linux) or Task Scheduler (Windows) for daily/weekly runs.

4. Drop the output into a shared drive or email it using your script.

Tips

• Store your API token securely (environment variable or vault).

• Use filter parameters in the API call (e.g., ?updated_since=2025-04-01) to export only changed records and reduce payload size.
