Utilities

    "Project": "project_name",
    "Description": "description",
    "Name": "user_full_name",
    "Timezone": "timezone"
  },
  "params": {
    "per_page": 10000,
    "page": 1,
    "filter": "status:complete",
    "start_date": "2018-01-05T08:00:00.000Z",

}

Resource

Type of Tali resource to export. Options: activities, projects.

Columns

Define your header labels and row cell values in the order they should appear as the columns body parameter. The key will be the header label, and the value will be the row cell value.

To use a literal string for a row cell value, simply wrap it in double quotes. (You may need to escape them in your JSON). Example: "Company": "\"My Company USA\""

Available row cell values are listed below for each resource:

  • user_first_name

  • user_id
  • timezone

Activity-only values

  • date (optional format: date:YYYY-MM-DD)
