Data Export & Transcript Download
Velaro provides several ways to export your data — individual conversation transcripts, bulk CSV exports of conversation history, contact records, and report data. This guide covers all export options and how to access them.
Exporting Individual Transcripts
To export a single conversation:
- Open the conversation in the Inbox or Conversation History.
- Click the ⋮ (More) menu in the top-right of the conversation.
- Select Export Transcript.
- Choose format: PDF (formatted, suitable for customers) or JSON (structured, for integrations).
- The file downloads immediately.
Bulk Conversation Export
- Go to Reports → Conversation History.
- Apply date range and filter by team, channel, agent, or bot.
- Click Export → CSV.
- For large exports (>10,000 conversations), the export is processed in the background and emailed to you when ready.
The CSV includes: conversation ID, start time, end time, channel, team, agent, visitor name, contact ID, CSAT score, resolution status, and a link to the full transcript.
Contact Export
- Go to Contacts.
- Apply any filters (e.g., created date, tag, CRM source).
- Click Export → CSV.
The export includes all standard fields plus any custom fields defined in Settings → Custom Fields.
Report Data Export
Every report in Reports & Analytics has an Export button that downloads the displayed data as a CSV. For scheduled reports, configure delivery under Reports → Scheduled Reports — reports are sent automatically to specified email addresses on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule.
API-Based Export
For automated data pipelines, use the Velaro REST API. Key endpoints:
GET /api/conversations— paginated list with filtersGET /api/conversations/{id}/transcript— full message history for one conversationGET /api/contacts— paginated contact list with filtersGET /api/reports/summary— aggregated report data
All API calls require a bearer token or API key. See the REST API guide for authentication details.
Data Retention
Velaro retains conversation data according to your plan:
| Plan | Transcript Retention | Report Data Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | 90 days | 90 days |
| Professional | 1 year | 1 year |
| Enterprise | 3 years (configurable) | 3 years |
To request extended retention or early deletion for GDPR compliance, contact support@velaro.com.
GDPR and Data Deletion
To delete all data for a specific contact (right to erasure):
- Go to Contacts → [Contact Name].
- Click ⋮ → Delete Contact & All Data.
- Confirm. This permanently removes all conversations, transcripts, and personal data associated with that contact and cannot be undone.
