Exporting Your Contacts
You can download your contacts as a file at any time — for your records, to use in another tool, or as a backup.
How to Export Contacts
- Click Contacts in the left sidebar.
There are two ways to export from here, and both respect whatever you currently have on screen:
Option A: Export the current view
- Click the Export button at the top of the page. This opens a dialog confirming what’s about to download — every contact matching whatever is currently active: the selected list, saved view, smart filter chips, and search box. To export your whole account, first clear any list/filter/search so “All Contacts” is showing, then click Export.
- Click Download CSV to confirm. The file downloads immediately and a confirmation briefly appears at the bottom of the screen.
Option B: Export a selection
- Tick the checkboxes next to the contacts you want. A floating action bar appears at the bottom of the screen with bulk actions, including Export.
- Click Export in that bar. The same confirmation dialog opens, scoped to just your selection.
- Click Download CSV to confirm.
What the Exported File Contains
The export includes, per contact:
- First name and last name
- Phone
- Channel
- Status
- Tags
- Lead score
- Bot active
- Do not disturb
- Private
- Lead profile (the same field the app labels “Notes” on the contact record — see Custom Fields, Lead Profile & Notes)
- Last activity
- Created
What’s different from before: this file does not include a contact ID column, a per-custom-field column (
custom_company, etc.), or a campaigns column. If you need a contact’s ID — for example to look someone up through the API — use the API’s contact lookup instead (see API Access), or copy it from a list’s Copy list ID action for list IDs specifically.
No message text in the file. There is no column containing the words of any message — “Last activity” is a timestamp, not message content.
The file is a CSV, which opens in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet app.
