How do I get a file of my Nova data that updates by itself?

Open Integrations › Scheduled Exports and click New report. Pick the metrics, date range, time grain and split, then Create export. Nova rebuilds the file every 3 hours behind one link that never changes, so a spreadsheet reading the link stays current. Nova does not email exports.

Checked against Nova's code on November 9, 2026

Who can create an export?

Admins and Workspace owners create, edit, duplicate and delete exports. Every member can refresh, copy the link and download. See Roles and permissions.

What can an export contain?

FieldOptions
FormatCSV or Excel (XLSX)
Date rangeRolling (30 days to 24 months), calendar (Last week, Last month, Month to date, Last quarter, Year to date) or your own days, with Until today to keep the end open
Time grainDaily, Weekly, Monthly
Split bySKU, Child ASIN, Parent ASIN, Marketplace, Account
Accounts, MarketplacesNone ticked means all
MetricsSales, Traffic, Ranking, Reviews, PPC, Subscribe & Save, P&L line items, Profitability, Inventories. None picked means all

Each row starts with the period and the columns of the split. Sessions, conversion rate and reviews cannot be split by SKU; BSR ranks need Child ASIN or SKU. The picker greys these out and says why. Vendor Central accounts are not in scheduled exports yet.

How do I export only my costs?

In Metrics, open P&L line items and pick only the lines under Cost of goods and FBM fulfillment. The file then holds no sales. These are the costs of the units sold in each period. For the cost per unit you entered, use Import / Export › Download COGS on the COGS page and Download FBM costs on the FBM Costs page.

How do I get it every week by email?

Nova does not send exports by email. Create the export with Last week and Weekly, click Copy link, and paste the link into Google Sheets or Excel: the Google Sheets and Excel cards at the top of the page open the setup guide. For a database or BI tool, the Database / BI card books a call with the team; see also Nova Data Share.

How fresh is the file?

Rebuilt every 3 hours. The refresh icon in Last refresh rebuilds it now. The date there turns amber after 10 hours without a new file, red after 24.

Give me last month's COGS and FBM fulfillment cost per SKU, with no sales figures, as a table I can paste into a spreadsheet.
  • How the P&L is builtThe lines of Nova's P&L from sales to net profit, what each one takes off, which day each amount lands on, and how costs are grouped.
  • Cost of goods (COGS)How Nova turns the unit costs you enter into COGS by date and marketplace, how regions share costs, FIFO batches, and what happens to a SKU with no cost.
  • FBM costsHow Nova prices the shipping, packing and picking of your FBM orders by delivery country, which rate wins, and what happens when a destination has no rate.
