# Nend Export Integration

Deprecation Notice:
Due to the discontinuation of the Nend service, effective from **March 29th, 2024**, the integration with Treasure Data will cease to function beyond this date. Consequently, the Nend connector will be removed from the TD Console after the service stop.  See [Reference](https://rtbsquare.work/archives/48317?fbclid=IwAR3gQ_htCkc9XIGnfuxc3UtZeM1XH9LKB9tDznDXRu3LTr7mNfL5FHZoJvE) from RTB Square.

Treasure Data allows you to retarget your mobile audience using nend retargeting platform provided by F@N Communications, Inc. You can write job results directly to nend.

For sample workflows of nend, view [Treasure Boxes](https://github.com/treasure-data/treasure-boxes/tree/master/td/nend).

## Prerequisites

- Basic knowledge of Treasure Data, including the [TD Toolbelt](https://toolbelt.treasuredata.com/).
- Data imported into Treasure Data, that you wish to export into nend.
- Working knowledge of SQL, Hive, or Presto.
- A nend account.


## Use the TD Console to Create Your Connection

### Create a New Connection

In Treasure Data, you must create and configure the data connection prior to running your query. As part of the data connection, you provide authentication to access the integration.

1. Open TD Console.
2. Navigate to **Integrations Hub** > **Catalog**.
3. Search for and select nend.

1. Type a name for your connection.
2. Select **Done**.


### Define your Query

You. must set the result column name to "uid."
After you execute your query, the Treasure Data query result is automatically imported into nend.

### Integration Parameters for nend

| Parameter  | Values  | Description  |
|  --- | --- | --- |
| Destination type |  | An identifier for Advertisers (**IDFA**) is a random device identifier assigned by Apple to a user's device. Google Advertising ID uuencoding is a form of binary-to-text encoding that originated in the Unix programs uuencode and uudecode written by Mary Ann Horton |

| Retry limit | 4 | The number of retries before the system gives up. |
| Mode | replace append | Output modes are ways to modify the data as the data is placed in Treasure Data.- **Append**(default): Records are appended to the target table.
- **Replace**: Replace data in the target table. Any manual schema changes made to the target table remain intact.

 |


### (Optional) Schedule Query Export Jobs

You can use Scheduled Jobs with Result Export to periodically write the output result to a target destination that you specify.

Treasure Data's scheduler feature supports periodic query execution to achieve high availability.

When two specifications provide conflicting schedule specifications, the specification requesting to execute more often is followed while the other schedule specification is ignored.

For example, if the cron schedule is `'0 0 1 * 1'`, then the 'day of month' specification and 'day of week' are discordant because the former specification requires it to run every first day of each month at midnight (00:00), while the latter specification requires it to run every Monday at midnight (00:00). The latter specification is followed.

#### Scheduling your Job Using TD Console

1. Navigate to **Data Workbench > Queries**
2. Create a new query or select an existing query.
3. Next to **Schedule**, select None.

| A single value, within the limits displayed above for each field. |  |  |
| A wildcard `'*'` to indicate no restriction based on the field. | `'0 0 1 * *'` | Configures the schedule to run at midnight (00:00) on the first day of each month. |
| A range `'2-5'`, indicating the range of accepted values for the field. | `'0 0 1-10 * *'` | Configures the schedule to run at midnight (00:00) on the first 10 days of each month. |

| A comma-separated list of any of the above except the `'*'` wildcard is also supported `'2,*/5,8-10'`. | `'0 0 5,*/10,25 * *'` | Configures the schedule to run at midnight (00:00) every 5th, 10th, 20th, and 25th day of each month. |


1. (Optional) You can delay the start time of a query by enabling the Delay execution.


### Execute the Query

Save the query with a name and run, or just run the query. Upon successful completion of the query, the query result is automatically exported to the specified destination.

Scheduled jobs that continuously fail due to configuration errors may be disabled on the system side after several notifications.

(Optional) You can delay the start time of a query by enabling the Delay execution.
