Overview
Creative Exports allow you to deliver creative assets and metadata from your advertising platforms to an object storage destination for downstream workflows, analytics, or long-term storage.
Before you can create a Creative Export, you must configure your connector to collect creative data. The required connector configuration is the same as the configuration used for Creative Reporting.
This guide provides an overview of the setup process. For detailed instructions on configuring your export destination, authentication, and export options, see Export to a Data Warehouse or File Storage.

Before creating a Creative Export, make sure that:
You have an existing connector for the advertising platform.
Your connector is configured for creative reporting using the appropriate platform-specific settings.
You have permission to create exports.
You have access to one of the supported object storage destinations:
Amazon S3
Google Cloud Storage
Azure Blob Storage
Configure Your Connector
Use the appropriate platform guide to configure your connector before creating an export.

Verify Your Export
After the export completes successfully:
Verify that files have been delivered to your object storage destination.
Confirm that your creative assets and metadata are present.
If expected data is missing, verify that your connector is configured according to the appropriate platform-specific guide.
Troubleshooting
If your Creative Export does not contain creative data:
Verify that your connector is configured for creative reporting.
Confirm that the required report type, reporting level, feature toggle, or metadata option is enabled for your advertising platform.
Allow the connector to refresh after making configuration changes before running the export again.
