Create questionnaire export

Creates an asynchronous export job for a questionnaire. The export processes in the background and typically completes within a few minutes depending on questionnaire size.

Subscribe to the v1.questionnaire.export-completed and v1.questionnaire.export-failed webhook events to be notified when an export completes or fails. Use the returned id with the “getQuestionnaireExport” endpoint to retrieve the download URL once the export completes.
