v1.3 LIVE 🤖 New: AI-assisted exports + Slack & Teams delivery

Export Snowflake data — without leaving Snowflake.

SnowExporter is a Snowflake Native App that runs inside your account. Run a query, deliver the results by email, presigned download link, or as a file to AWS S3, GCP GCS, Azure Blob, or an internal Snowflake stage — on demand or on a schedule.

v1.3 · AI assist

Describe your export in plain English.

SnowExporter v1.3 writes the query, picks the schedule, and routes it to the right Slack channel, Teams chat, or email — all without leaving Snowflake.

🤖 You type:

"Email me the top 10 customers by revenue every Monday at 9 AM Eastern."

Cortex returns a complete scheduled export:
  • SQL query against your selected database / schema
  • Cron expression + IANA timezone
  • Delivery mode and matched destination
  • Recipients pulled from your configured channels

Snowsight Copilot writes SQL. SnowExporter's AI writes the whole job — query, schedule, destination. You review every field before clicking Schedule; nothing is auto-submitted.

Powered by Snowflake Cortex (mistral-large) — runs server-side inside your Snowflake account, so your data stays inside the boundary just like the rest of the app. Requires Cortex on your Snowflake account. Pro / Trial only.

Delivery modes

One query. Five ways out.

SnowExporter doesn't lock you into a single export channel. Pick the category that fits the recipient and the data volume.

Five delivery modes — inside Snowflake vs external Your query, the SnowExporter Native App, and the internal stage all run inside your Snowflake account. Five delivery modes carry results out: email body, email with presigned download link, Slack channel, Microsoft Teams channel, or file write to AWS S3, GCP GCS, or Azure Blob. YOUR SNOWFLAKE ACCOUNT Query, app, and internal stage all run here FIVE DELIVERY MODES Only export results cross the boundary Your query SELECT … FROM … Native App · Streamlit + SQL 3 narrow privileges Internal stage file written here for modes 2 and 5 stays in Snowflake 1 📧 Email — in the body Up to 50 rows rendered in the message body Recipients: verified Snowflake user emails only 2 🔗 Email — download link Presigned link to the staged file No row limit — recipients click & download 3 Slack channel v1.2 Monospace table, up to 10 rows + summary Optional file via 24-hour presigned link for more 4 Microsoft Teams channel v1.2 MessageCard with table + Download button For larger results, file attachment via link 5 FILE EXPORT CSV / JSON · optional GZIP 📁 S3 bucket via storage integration · IAM role trust policy 📁 Google Cloud Storage via storage integration · service account binding 📁 Azure Blob Storage via storage integration · access grants
Your query, the SnowExporter app, and the internal stage all run inside your Snowflake account. Five delivery modes — email body, email link, Slack channel, Teams channel, or file write to internal stage / S3 / GCS / Azure — cross out to the recipient or destination you chose.
📧

Email

In-body — results render directly in the email body, up to 50 rows per send. Download link — presigned URL to a file in an internal stage, no row limit. Recipients must be verified Snowflake user emails.

New in v1.2
💬

Chat — Slack & Teams

Slack channel — results in a monospace table, up to 10 rows + summary. Microsoft Teams channel — same shape via Teams MessageCards. Larger results get an optional downloadable file via a 24-hour presigned link.

📁

File to destination

Write a CSV or JSON file — optionally GZIP'd, optionally with a timestamp suffix — to an internal Snowflake stage or an external AWS S3, GCP GCS, or Azure Blob destination.

Why a Native App

Your data never leaves your Snowflake account.

SnowExporter runs inside your Snowflake account. There is no third-party server that touches your data. The app requests only three account-level privileges, all explicitly scoped to what it needs.

Only export results — emails and files — cross the boundary to external destinations like AWS S3, GCP GCS, and Azure Blob.

⚠  The traditional way

Your data leaves Snowflake.

Third-party ETL platforms, BI extracts, and custom export scripts all share the same pattern: they pull your data out of Snowflake, process it on infrastructure you don't control, then push it onward.

  • Your data sits in transit on a vendor's servers
  • Broad Snowflake privileges typically required — schema-wide SELECT, sometimes warehouse management
  • Audit logs live in the vendor's system, not yours
  • You inherit the vendor's security posture, encryption-at-rest, and personnel access controls
✓  SnowExporter (Native App)

Your data stays in Snowflake.

SnowExporter runs inside your Snowflake account as a Native App. No third-party server in the loop. The Snowflake boundary is the security boundary.

  • Data never crosses out to a vendor's infrastructure — only the export you chose
  • Three narrow privileges only — no CREATE DATABASE, no MANAGE WAREHOUSES, no schema-wide grants
  • Audit log lives in your own ACCOUNT_USAGE — same surface as your other Snowflake activity
  • Your ACCOUNTADMIN sees exactly what's being granted; the app's UI generates the SQL for each step

For full transparency, here are the only three privileges the app's manifest.yml requests:

IMPORTED PRIVILEGES ON SNOWFLAKE DB

Read ACCOUNT_USAGE.QUERY_ATTRIBUTION_HISTORY so the audit log can show real compute credits per query.

EXECUTE TASK

Run scheduled exports as Snowflake tasks.

EXECUTE MANAGED TASK

Run scheduled exports as serverless managed tasks when a warehouse is granted.

From query to delivery — here's what SnowExporter looks like inside Snowsight.

Scheduling

Once-off or on a recurring schedule.

Any export can be scheduled. Cron syntax, your choice of timezone (set once in Settings). Pause, resume, or delete schedules from the Scheduled Exports page.

Multi-destination management

Define many destinations. Manage them per-endpoint.

Internal stage, AWS S3, GCP GCS, Azure Blob — define as many destinations as you need. Each destination has a Description and Business Contact so admins document what every endpoint is for and who owns it. Enable or disable each one independently without deleting the configuration.

Audit log + activity dashboard

Real costs alongside real actions.

Every email send, file export, and schedule change is logged. The Logs page pulls actual compute credits per query from ACCOUNT_USAGE.QUERY_ATTRIBUTION_HISTORY, so you see real cost attribution next to each action — not estimates.
