Guide to exporting base material screening results: format selection and secondary use strategy
What is base material screening?
Base material screening is to filter out the numbers that meet the target conditions through multi-dimensional detection (such as platform activation, recent activity, gender identification, etc.) based on the collected or generated phone number list, thereby obtaining a “base material” data set that can be used for further marketing. This concept comes from the process of “number cleaning → precise customer acquisition” in the field of overseas marketing - only the screened numbers have actual reach value. On the KK-DATA platform, base material screening is completed through the “Number Screening” module, which supports mainstream social platforms such as Telegram, WhatsApp, Line, Zalo, and iMessage. The detection types cover activation, activity, gender and even some age fields. After the screening is completed, the export link is the key bridge between data cleaning and subsequent operations. Correctly exporting and rationally reusing data can greatly improve the efficiency of advertising, private message promotion, community recruitment and other scenarios.
What export formats are supported by base material filtering? How to choose?
KK-DATA provides two export formats after the base material screening task is completed: CSV and TXT. Which format you choose depends on your subsequent usage goals. A quick comparison in the table below:
| Format | Applicable scenarios | Advantages and disadvantages |
|---|---|---|
| CSV | Data analysis, CRM import, secondary tags | Can be read directly by Excel/Sheets/CRM; fields are complete; volume is slightly larger |
| TXT | Batch import group sending tool, quick call | One number per line, small size, strong compatibility; losing structured fields |
CSV format export: suitable for data analysis and CRM import
CSV (Comma Separated Values) is the standard format for data exchange. When we need to stratify, count, and label the filtering results, CSV is the best choice. For example:
- Import the exported CSV into Google Sheets and use pivot tables to analyze the distribution of active numbers in different countries/regions and different genders.
- Import CSV into CRM systems (such as HubSpot, Salesforce), automatically create potential customers and associate custom attributes (such as “TG active 7 days for men”).
The CSV file will contain all exported fields (number, activation status, activity, gender, etc.) to facilitate further cleaning and grouping using programming languages (Python/Pandas) or low-code tools.
TXT format export: suitable for batch import and mass sending tools
Each line of TXT format contains a pure number and does not contain any additional fields. This format is seamlessly compatible with most Telegram/WhatsApp bulk messaging tools (such as mass messaging scripts, automated marketing software). Just copy and paste the TXT content into the tool input box, no need to deal with column headers or separators. In addition, the TXT file size is extremely small and suitable for transfer to remote servers via API or FTP.
Format selection tips
If you want to stratify the base material later (such as grouping by gender + activity), it is recommended to use CSV first; if you only need to quickly import the mass sending tool to send messages, TXT is more efficient. Both formats can be downloaded with one click from the task details page without repeated filtering.
What key export fields are included in the base material filtering results?
The specific fields are subject to the actual export from the KK-DATA console. The columns exported after detection by different platforms are slightly different. The following are typical common fields and their value in secondary uses:
- Number: Full international format phone number (e.g. +8613800138000) for follow-up contact.
- Country/Region: Automatically identifies the country or area code to which the number belongs, used for geographic targeting.
- Platform: The detected platform name (Telegram, WhatsApp, Line, etc.) to facilitate cross-platform integration.
- Activation status: Whether the number has been registered on the target platform. Only activated numbers may be further active.
- Activity: Usually expressed by the last online time (such as 3 days/7 days/30 days) or the last online timestamp, used to determine whether the user has been active recently.
- Gender: Gender identification based on platform public information or behavioral predictions (may come with confidence). Can be used for gender-targeted marketing.
- tgid/wsid/uid: Platform internal user ID, which facilitates accurate matching or group gathering in API scenarios.
- Whether it contains an avatar/nickname: Some tests can return the presence or absence of an avatar to determine the quality of the account.
- Age field (only on some platforms such as Telegram): not a precise age, but an estimate based on name/public data, which can be used to filter groups around 30 years old and so on.
Note: The age field is not an independent product, but is incidental information in the gender detection results. Please refer to the console export column.
How to export the bottom material screening results from the KK-DATA console?
The operation process is very simple and the entire process is completed on the console:
- Submit screening task: Upload the number list in the “base material screening” module (or use the “number generation” function to generate it first), select the detection platform and type, and submit the task.
- Receive notification: After the task is completed, if your Telegram account has been bound, you will receive a push reminder; you can also manually refresh the status on the “Task Management” page of the console.
- Enter task details: Click on the completed task to enter the details page, displaying the filtered activation/active/gender statistical charts and number list preview.
- Select format for download: Click the “Export” button at the bottom of the details page, a dialog box will pop up to select CSV or TXT format, and click Confirm to download. The system automatically generates the file, usually within seconds.
- Repeated Download: Task records are retained for a long time (default 30 days), and the same task can be downloaded multiple times without re-detection.
Secondary use suggestions: How to make the base material screening data play a greater value?
Combine gender and activity for precise stratified delivery
Example scenario: You operate a Telegram community tool for male users and hope to attract new users. You can:
- Submit the background screening task, select the Telegram platform, and check “Active”, “Active (last 7 days)” and “Gender” for the detection type.
- Export the filtering results to CSV and filter out the numbers with “Gender = Male” and “Activity = Last 7 Days” in Excel.
- Export this part of the number to a new TXT, which can be used to add friends in batches or send invitation links.
This layered delivery can significantly increase conversion rates and reduce harassment to inactive or irrelevant users.
Cross-platform combination: merge the activation numbers of different platforms to remove duplicates
If you acquire customers on Telegram and WhatsApp at the same time, you can first check the activation status of the two platforms respectively, and then use KK-DATA’s data deduplication warehouse function to merge the numbers of the two tasks and automatically deduplicate them. For example:
- Export the CSV of the Telegram number and import it into the deduplication warehouse.
- Export the CSV of the WhatsApp number and add it to the same warehouse.
- After deduplication and exporting, you can get a list of high-quality numbers that are activated across platforms, which can be used to send “multi-platform reach” marketing activities to avoid the same number being repeatedly detected and wasting balance.
Efficiency improvement tips
It is recommended to screen the base material first (without exporting) after generating the number, confirm the data quality and then export it as needed. KK-DATA supports cross-task deduplication, which can avoid wasting balance by detecting the same number multiple times.
Data management and privacy considerations after export
- Local storage security: The downloaded CSV/TXT file contains phone numbers and possible personal attributes (gender, age estimate). Please keep it properly, use encrypted storage or add password protection, and do not share it on the public network.
- Compliance: The number list you obtain and use must comply with local data privacy regulations (such as GDPR, CCPA). The platform only provides technical detection capabilities and does not involve the legality of data sources. It is recommended to remove users who have logged out or declined contact before use.
- File retention period: The KK-DATA platform will retain data for 30 days after the task is completed. After expiration, the screening task must be resubmitted to obtain it again. Please download the archive in time.
- The exported file does not contain meta information: The platform does not store the files you download, nor does it provide automatic expiration and deletion. Responsibility for the final management of the data rests with the user.
FAQ
**Q: Can the base material screening results be downloaded multiple times? ** Answer: Yes. Completed tasks retain historical records on the task details page of the console and support repeated downloads without re-detection.
**Q: Can fields be customized in the export format? ** Answer: Currently, exporting by platform preset fields is supported. If you need to customize it, it is recommended to download the CSV and filter and rearrange it in Excel or script yourself.
**Q: How long will the undownloaded data be retained after filtering? ** Answer: After the task is completed, the data will be retained for 30 days by default. It is recommended to download it in time. After expiration, you need to resubmit the screening number task to obtain it again.
**Q: Do the base material screening results contain the country/region information of the phone number? ** Answer: The export field usually contains country code or area code information, which is subject to the actual export column of the console. If the numbers in the task come from multiple countries, this information will be exported together.
**Q: When exporting TXT, should the numbers be separated by newlines or commas? ** Answer: The TXT format has one number per line (separated by newline characters), which is suitable for pasting directly into the batch sending tool. CSV is separated by commas, and the first line is column headers.
