Data export
Your data, always yours
Every record in your goldenhour account exports to CSV with one click. No subscription tier required. No throttling. No fees. If you ever decide to move to another platform: even temporarily: your client list, appointment history, and message log come with you.
Why we care about this
Several competitors in this space restrict CSV export to paid tiers, throttle the row count, or just don’t ship the feature. We think locking an artist’s own business data behind a subscription is a hostile relationship. Switching costs should reflect the quality of the product, not a hostage-taking pattern.

Clients
Every client record: name, contact info, intake answers, tags, lifetime stats, notes. Includes archived and blocked clients on request.
/api/export/clients·In the dashboardAppointments
Every appointment with status, service, price, deposit, add-ons, scheduled and completed timestamps, notes, and the client + service the appointment ties to.
/api/export/appointments·In the dashboardMessages
Every SMS + email exchanged with clients via goldenhour. One row per message with direction, channel, body, status, and provider IDs for chain-of-custody.
/api/export/messages·In the dashboardNo-show clients
Clients with at least one no-show on file, sortable by count + last-no-show date. Useful for re-engagement or deposit policy decisions.
/api/export/no-shows·In the dashboardDue-for-rebook clients
Clients past their personal rebook cadence: the same list the rebook-nudge cron uses to send personalized retention SMS.
/api/export/due·In the dashboardBlocked clients
Clients you've blocked from booking. The list also surfaces the reason notes you added.
/api/export/blocked·In the dashboardEmail-subscribed clients
Clients who haven't opted out of marketing email. Match this against the messages export to reconstruct campaign history.
/api/export/subscribed·In the dashboardAudit log
Append-only record of every state-changing operation on your account: who did what, when, and the before/after snapshot. Compliance + forensic-grade.
