Automated Exports to Google Drive
in progress

Adam Smith
Automated Data Exports is available through PPC Labs.
It allows Administrators to schedule exports from Precise Petcare and deliver the resulting files to Google Drive automatically.Automated Exports use the same data, terminology, permissions, and formatting as the corresponding exports already available throughout Precise Petcare. This makes them useful for recurring reporting, payroll preparation, data analysis, backups, and connections to other systems without requiring someone to manually download the same information each time.
Choose what to export
Each Automated Export covers one type of data. Available choices depend on the features enabled for the business and the Administrator’s access.
Supported data includes:
- Client Profiles
- Pet Profiles
- Staff
- Visits
- Ongoing Visits
- Trips
- Services
- Time Blocks
- Staff Groups
- Invoices
- Transactions
- Service Packages
- Client Packages
- Keys
- Timesheet/Mileage
- Payroll
The exported CSV uses the existing export fields for that area of Precise Petcare, including record IDs that can be used when organizing or connecting information outside the system.
Payroll exports can use the standard CSV format or formats prepared for
Gusto (contractors)
, Gusto (employees)
, ADP
, and Paychex
.Private credentials and other information that is not part of the corresponding Precise Petcare export are not added to an Automated Export.
Select the records and dates
Client Profile and Pet Profile exports can include:
- All Records
- Changes Since Last Export
Changes Since Last Export is useful for keeping another system updated without exporting every profile each day. Test Exports and recurring full exports establish a complete list before subsequent changes are delivered. Removed records are also identified so they can be reconciled outside Precise Petcare.
For date-based information, such as Visits, Trips, Invoices, Transactions, Timesheet/Mileage, and Payroll, choose the
Date Range
that should be included. Available ranges are adjusted according to the selected data and Frequency.For example, a Visit export can cover upcoming work, while a Payroll or Transactions export covers an appropriate completed period.
Set the schedule
Automated Exports can run:
- Daily
- Weekly
- Monthly
Choose the time, the day of the week for a Weekly export, or the day of the month for a Monthly export. If the selected day does not exist in a shorter month, the export runs on the final day of that month.
The schedule uses the Administrator’s timezone from
My Account
.Each export is created for the currently selected business location. Administrators with access to multiple locations can configure the exports needed for each location separately.
Connect Google Drive
Automated Exports are delivered to a connected Google Drive account. The
Google Drive
section under Exports shows the connected account and destination folder.New or changed Automated Exports remain
Paused
until a successful Test Export
confirms the data, permissions, and Google Drive destination. After reviewing the test files, the schedule can be enabled.Editing an enabled export pauses it so the updated configuration can be tested before scheduled delivery resumes.
A verified export can also be started at any time with
Run Now
without changing its normal schedule.Review Export History
History
records Test Exports, Run Now exports, scheduled exports, retries, and supported manual exports.Each entry shows its current status and, after a successful delivery, links to the files in Google Drive. History also records the original Date Range used for that run, so relative choices such as Last Week or Next 14 Days remain clear after the export is completed.
If an export is interrupted or Google Drive temporarily cannot confirm delivery, History provides the current status and the appropriate retry or recovery action. The Administrator is also notified when an Automated Export fails, is delayed, or requires the Google Drive connection to be restored.
Deleting an Automated Export stops future scheduled work but retains its History and files already delivered to Google Drive. Disconnecting Google Drive pauses the affected exports without removing delivered files.

Following support ticket #44656, Merry Puppins needs a daily refreshed rolling eight-week staffing capacity view. Please support a next-56-days Visits export on a daily schedule, including unassigned visits, stable record IDs, dates, arrival windows, durations, assignments, and statuses. The 14-day daily and 31-day weekly limits do not cover this horizon, and Through Next Month is tied to calendar months.
We also need joinable staffing exports for working hours, approved time off, and recommended/maximum daily workload limits. For reliable reconciliation, please include an export timestamp, time zone, covered range, and clear full-snapshot versus changes-only semantics, with a supported way to identify cancellations, rescheduled visits, assignment changes, and deleted records. A shared run ID or consistent snapshot across files would help avoid mismatched data. Please clarify existing field coverage and track the remaining gaps. Precise would remain the scheduling system of record.

Can we get this for bulk media downloads? I know the function is there already but when I go to pull say 1 day of photos, PPC errors out and freezes. I need a way to bulk dl photos to use for marketing, without sitting and selecting random pics.

Lisa Myers: Please submit a ticket with specifics so that we can address the issue you're having exporting photos to Google Drive.

Adam Smith Thank you so much as this is very useful. I was trying to test it but how do we run the Test Export so the schedule is no longer in a Paused State? I cannot find the Test Export option.

Automatic backups of schedule and client information.
Jessyca Nagorski
Possibly something that could be worked into or added onto the Google Drive exports, but I would love to have some sort of regular backup of scheduled visits and client data, preferably to some cloud service like Google Drive or Dropbox.

Report Scheduling and auto exporting to Google Drive

We love that you added exporting reports to Google Drive, but it would be even more valuable if we could schedule saved reports to run automatically and save to Google Drive on a set cadence — for example, at 5:00 AM every day. Many reports are useful for ongoing analysis and dashboarding, and automatic nightly exports would let owners consume fresh data without the friction of manual exports, so teams can automate regular exports and feed dashboards.
