This gives you access to all of the different Lytx export types, so there's hundreds and hundreds of them all now available through flow exports as well as custom one-off configuration. Adding an export is pretty simple, you'll just hit export, it'll add our new step, and then we'll click to configure it, and then I'll just click to configure my export. This is going to then take us into the Lytx jobs wizard, which again gives you access to all of the different exports across the entire platform. Just to kind of show those real quick, in our example though, we'll set up just a webhook, it's the easiest one to sort of demonstrate, but it could be an export to your ESP, your email provider, you could do a one-off export to a content stack, you could send to your warehouse, all sorts of different things that you can do with the exports, but in our case we'll just search for webhook, we'll choose webhook, and we'll say we want to do an audience trigger webhook. You can configure your own authorization, we won't actually worry about sending this anywhere important, so we'll just say that the endpoint doesn't require authorization, we'll just call this test webhook, we'll send this to test.com slash test, we'll send a POST request. In our workflow configurations, you can configure any number of options, you can choose which profile attributes to send, all sorts of stuff that aren't specific to flows, but we can come back to at a later date, ultimately though, I'll say this is how I want to configure this particular export, I'll complete the configuration, and it's going to take me back to the canvas and put this export in a draft state. One thing to note for legacy Linux users that is a new feature, traditionally there was no draft state for our jobs, you had to go and set it up and create it and essentially turn it on all in the same motion. With flows, there's actually this new interim draft state, so I can go in here, create a work configuration, and don't have to automatically publish it, so if I wanted to go back in here and edit it, I can go back, edit my details, nothing is live, I can complete it and go back and be able to do that while I'm sort of configuring and figuring out my right particular flow. #### Key takeaways - Connect **Flow Anatomy - Export Step** back to your stack configuration before moving to the next module. - Capture one concrete artifact (screenshot, Postman call, or code snippet) that proves the step works in your environment. - Re-read the delivery versus management boundary for anything you changed in the entry model. ## Supplement for indexing ### Content summary Flow Anatomy - Export Step.
