Export from Objects (with Custom Filters)

The Object export mode lets you target all records of a specific Salesforce object — or your entire org — and download every attached file in one operation. Build unlimited field-level filters to narrow exactly which records are included, and use incremental mode to keep recurring backups efficient.

How to Use
1
Select Export Type

Choose Export from Objects from the main menu or the sidebar navigation.

2
Choose Scope

Select All Objects to export files from every record across your entire org, or select Specific Object and choose the object from the dropdown — for example, Account, Case, Opportunity, or any custom object.

3
Add Filters (Optional)

Click Add Filter to define field-level conditions. Each filter has three parts: Field, Operator (Equals, Contains, Greater Than, etc.), and Value. Add as many filters as needed — all conditions are combined with AND logic.

4
Enable Incremental Mode (Optional)

Toggle Incremental Export to skip files that were already exported in a previous run. The app tracks the last export date automatically — only files created or modified since then will be downloaded.

5
Choose File Type, Output Folder & Export

Select Files (ContentDocument), Attachments, or both. Click Browse to set your destination folder, then click Export to start the download.

Tip — Incremental Export for recurring backups. Enable Incremental Export when running scheduled or repeated backups. The app tracks the last successful run date and only downloads files created or modified since then — saving time and Salesforce API quota.

Filter Operators

When adding field-level filters, the Operator dropdown determines how the field value is compared against your input. The table below lists every supported operator and when to use it.

Operator Behavior Example use
Equals Field value must exactly match the supplied value (case-insensitive for text fields). Status Equals Active
Not Equals Field value must differ from the supplied value — all other values pass the filter. Stage Not Equals Closed Lost
Contains Field value must contain the supplied string anywhere within it (substring match). Name Contains Acme
Starts With Field value must begin with the supplied string. AccountNumber Starts With ACC-2024
Greater Than Field value must be strictly greater than the supplied value. Applies to numeric, currency, and date fields. Amount Greater Than 10000
Less Than Field value must be strictly less than the supplied value. Applies to numeric, currency, and date fields. CreatedDate Less Than 2023-01-01
Greater Than or Equal Field value must be greater than or equal to the supplied value. Inclusive boundary. NumberOfEmployees Greater Than or Equal 500
Less Than or Equal Field value must be less than or equal to the supplied value. Inclusive boundary. LastModifiedDate Less Than or Equal 2024-12-31
Combining filters. All filters you add are joined with AND logic — a record must satisfy every condition to be included in the export. If you need OR logic (e.g., records from two different stages), run separate exports for each condition.
Date format. When filtering on date or date-time fields, enter values in YYYY-MM-DD format (e.g., 2024-06-01). The app handles the Salesforce SOQL conversion automatically.
