# Export Data

  **Deprecation Notice:** Export Data is being deprecated soon. Please use the [Integrations Task](/tasks/data/integrations) instead, which allows you to connect to 3,500+ integrations from the [Integrations Marketplace](/integrations/overview).

## Tips for Better Results

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Check your credentials have access">
    Make sure the account you're using has permission to write to the destination you're targeting.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Test with preview first">
    Before activating your workflow, run a preview to verify:

    * The credentials work
    * The destination path or ID is correct
    * The data exports as expected
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Handle export failures">
    Sometimes destinations become unavailable or permissions change. Consider adding a Decision Agent after your export to check if it succeeded before continuing.
