# Set Up an Action Event Data Feed as a Partner
#### Set up an action data feed
1. From the top navigation bar, select  **\[User profile] → Settings**.
2. Under *Technical*, select [Data Feeds](https://app.impact.com/secure/mediapartner/accountSettings/view-edit-daily-feeds-flow.ihtml).
3. Next to *Daily Action Feed*, select  **\[Edit]**.
4. Toggle on  **\[Toggle]** **Enable data feed**.
5. Set the **Frequency** in which you want FTP files generated.
* Each file will only include events that happened since the last time a data feed file was generated. So, for example, if you decide to set the frequency to **Hourly**, only events that occurred within each last hour will be included.
Frequency options
Refer to the table below to see when each selection would generate a file. All times are in UTC format.
| Frequency Option | Generation Times |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| Hourly | Every day, every hour since the last run time. |
| Every 2 hours | Every day, every 2 hours since the last run time. |
| Every 4 hours | Every day, every 4 hours since the last run time. |
| Every 8 hours | Every day, every 8 hours since the last run time. |
| Twice daily | Every day at 06:00:00Z and 18:00:00Z. |
| Daily | Every day at 02:00:00Z. |
| Monthly | The first day of each month at 03:00:00Z. |
6. Select the **Data Format**. You have the following options:
* XML: Human- and machine-readable [markup text](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML)
* TAB: Plain text, tab-spaced values
* PIPE: Plain text, pipe-separated ( | ) values
* CSV: Plain text, comma-separated values
7. Pick the file's **Delivery Method**.
* FTP: Pull action feed data from impact.com's FTP server.

* Email: The email address with which you want to receive action data updates.
8. Select **Save**.
#### Data feed fields
See details on the data feed file fields in the linked spreadsheet below. A data feed file will always include all of the fields marked `Always Present in File`. Fields marked `Present when new data is available` won't appear in the file if no new data is available for a given line item.
* Refer to the [impact.com Action Data Feed File Data Fields spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1I2VPpe38vFq26Vv-gm_Aqg4mVJv4APJsL9mBSzCXZeU/edit#gid=0) for detailed information on all fields.
