Export Chatter Feed Activity in Salesforce Data Loader

Udgivelsesdato: Sep 8, 2025
Beskrivelse

The Chatter Feed can be exported by selecting the 'FeedItem' object in Data Loader. This object stores the data for all Chatter posts in an Organization.

 

Løsning

To export the 'FeedItem' object, perform the following:


1. Launch Data Loader and click Export
2. On the list of objects, click on the checkbox to "Show All Salesforce objects."
3. Select the Feed Item from the list.

Note: You can further refine your search to target your results to a specific date, date range, user, or group.

4. Select Browse to select the location where the exported file will be saved and provide a suitable name for your exported file with a ".csv" extension.
5. Click Next.
6. You can "Select all Fields" to get all information for the feed items or select the preferred information from the query fields.
7. Click Finish to execute the Export process.



Note: If you perform a query about the Chatter FeedItems with the type of "ContentPost", this may cause Data Loader to give out an error on the Java Heap Space. The reason for this is that Data Loader does not export file attachments. To leave these FeedItem types out and to successfully export using the Data Loader, append "Type != 'ContentPost'" to the end of the query.

Select ID, CreatedById, Body FROM FeedItem WHERE LastModifiedDate > 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z AND LastModifiedDate < 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z AND Type != 'ContentPost'

If you want an export that includes the "ContentPost" types, you can Export Backup Data from Salesforce.  The name for the object differs between the Data Loader and the Data Export Service, and you will want to choose the "FeedPost" object, which was replaced by "FeedItem" in the API.
