You can export from the Mailing level, Version level or from the visual editor. To export: 1. **In Taxi, head to your Home screen** Select the Project that contains the version you want to export. 2. **Select the Mailing** If you are Admin you can select the Kebab menu and select 'Export' on the mailing level. 3. **After selecting the Mailing you will see the Versions page** Select the 'Export Mailing' option on the right-hand side of the screen under the Exports section. Alternatively select the version you want to export to open it in the visual editor. 4. **In the visual editor, select 'Export Mailing'** 5. **On the Export page, scroll to ESP connectors** Select your External File Gateway connector. 6. **Under the Segmentation section** You can select if you want to export one version or use a segment set. Each version you export will result in a separate JSON file written to your SFTP host. 7. **Click 'Start Export'** You will see a green banner when your export is complete. The connector writes one JSON file per version to your configured SFTP host using the filename pattern set up on the connector. ### What the exported JSON looks like Each file follows this shape (the exact contents of `data` and `metadata` depend on the field names configured on the connector — see *Setting up the External File Gateway connector*): ```jsonl { "campaign_name": "My Newsletter: v1", "uploaded_by": "user@example.com", "updated_at": "2026-05-05T15:00:00Z", "project_url": "https://your-org.emailcms.net/versions/123", "data": { "campaign_html": "…", "campaign_plaintext": "…", "subject": "Your subject line", "": "", "global_content": { "": "" } }, "metadata": { "": "" } } ``` --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
