Flows can collect a wide array of data, especially through attributes - that’s why it’s a good idea to keep your data organised. Data sets can help you achieve that. Data sets are essentially collections of data where you curate and control what data you are saving and downloading.

Build your flow, making sure all attributes have been set up correctly. Choose the message that you want to add the Data Set to - we recommend adding the part to the end of a certain flow in your flow or in an outro/recap message. This ensures that all the values for all the attributes up until that point are stored in the flow database, when the user hits that specific message.

Click edit on your message. In the message parts menu, hover over “Set attribute” and select “Store data set”:

A message part will now show up in your preview. Click the message part to configure your settings:

You can then choose your Data Set, either by creating a new one or by selecting pre-made ones from the drop down menu:

Click “Save”. Your Data Set has now been created:

You can now access, organise and download the contents of your Data Set by going to “People & Privacy” in the left hand bar, and clicking Download Data. Select your Data Set from the dropdown - you can then filter your data by selecting a date range and choosing which attributes you want to collect as part of your Data set download. You will also be able to see the number of unique people in your data set, which is helpful if you want a certain number of responses before you download your CSV.

Once you have chosen your dates and attributes, download your CS. The CSV will then download to your device and your Data Set settings will be remembered for the next time you want to access them.

Organising your attributes

You can drag and drop the order of your attributes in this section. This order will then be reflected in the order of the columns in your CSV.
