Automating dedupe Scenarios to run and save an export.

[cj_malwarebytes]

Hi Anthony,

Is there a way to automate running a dedupe scenario to get an export with the potential duplicates in an Excel format to be reviewed (not to do the actual dedupe)?

I believe this would be a good idea for automating potential duplicates in an export to be reviewed, that would save some time running the dedupe manually. For example, setting up an automated dedupe on accounts weekly each Friday morning and sending the export file with the results into a specific folder to be reviewed.

Thanks,

Carlos

Hi @cj_malwarebytes!

Thanks for your feedback on how the Dedupe and Schedule functions could be improved, I'd recommend you submit a feature request to ensure our product team receives this and other future ideas you may have.

This is a feature we have seen requested a few times recently and is being considered as part of a future feature release for DemandTools in 2023.

Hi, is this a feature that has been created yet please? If so, can you direct me to documentation so I can try it? Thanks.

Hey @Flower - Yes! This is available now within the Schedule functionality of DemandTools. If you go to schedule a scenario within DemandTools now, you will see the ability Export as an operation to a desired folder instead of executing the module fully.

Hi @Elliot_Validity Happy Friday!

I submitted my idea a couple of weeks ago. How would I know if my idea was considered or not?

Thanks,

Carlos
