Is it possible to build a data extract that would pull bounces for a set of welcome e-mails (which run daily as part of a program) and place the file on our ExactTarget FTP?

I know with Tracking Extracts I'm able to pull that data, however that's only available with a Send ID. Since these e-mails are part of a program that runs daily, the Send ID changes daily, making any sort automated of extract seemingly impossible.

Anyone have an idea how to accomplish this?

Here's one way I could imagine doing this:

  1. A data extension that holds all the Bounce fields you are interested in
  2. A query that selects these fields from the Bounce data view, with a subquery on the Job data view to get your job ID based on EmailName, EmailSubject, etc; use this to overwrite (or update, depending on what you want) your data extension
  3. A data extract of type 'Data Extension Extract' to get that data extension
  4. A file transfer to move that file to your FTP
  5. An Automation Studio automation that runs steps 2-4 every day
