Quora Ads Manager offers native exporting and allows you to schedule email reports. However, for many cases, that’s not enough as you may need to automatically import your data into another app.
Methods to export Quora Ads data
Here are the most used methods to export data from Quora Ads:
Automated export
You can automate Quora Ads export with Coupler.io. It’s a reporting automation tool that can connect Quora Ads to various popular destinations (spreadsheets, BI tools, or data warehouses). It allows you to streamline the export of Quora Ads data and combine it with data from other PPC platforms such as Twitter Ads, Facebook Ads, TikTok Ads, etc. Since it schedules exports, you can access near real-time data and create self-updating reports and live dashboards.
Manual export of ad data
Quora Ads Manager has an export feature that allows you to download campaign data from the platform. You can download all your ads within your account as an Excel or CSV file. However, you have to log into the platform and perform the export manually every time you need to access fresh information. This method doesn’t allow you to export ads data on a schedule so you may want to rely on other export options for Quora Ads.
Scheduled Email Reports
Quora Ads allows users to schedule automated reports to be sent to their emails. You can choose any report type (ad, ad set, campaign, all campaigns, and leads generated). The email frequency can be set to every day or to a specific day of the week. These recurring reports can be mailed to you or any other account user. This definitely helps to receive regular updates, but you will still have to upload this data to your destination app manually.
API integration
You can use the Quora Ads API to retrieve campaign data from your account. This requires technical expertise and coding skills. The first step is to contact the Quora team to register an OAuth client and get access to your Client ID and Client Secret. After authentication, you can make requests to the Quora Ads API endpoints. According to the Quora Ads API documentation, you can export various ad data in the JSON format. Using the API provides significant flexibility for custom ETL data transfer. But you need to have some coding skills or a technical team to set it up correctly.
All the methods above are useful for exporting data from Quora Ads. But if you’d like to automate the entire process with a couple of clicks, Coupler.io is the best option. In the next section, we’ll describe how you can export Quora Ads data on a schedule with the help of this tool.

How to create scheduled reports in Quora Ads with native functionality?
The Reporting page in Quora Ads is where you can create, edit, and delete reports.
Here’s how to create a recurring report that would be sent to your email:
- Click the Create Report button.
- Pick a name and add the recipients for the report.
- Select the report type (ad, ad set, campaigns, etc).
- Add the time span and the frequency for sending reports.
According to Quora Ads rules, you can only receive reports to your email when there has been ad delivery during the stipulated time span. This means that a time span set for “this month” only allows reports to be sent during that month. You can choose custom dates, different frequencies, and also set up multiple reports using various report types.
However, this doesn’t allow you to automatically send your data to another app, and you can’t build an auto-updating report or live dashboard with this method.
Export Quora Ads on a schedule to keep track of your ad performance
