How to export contacts and contact lists
You can export all your contacts, or only the contacts in one list, to a file. You start the export on the Contacts page or on the list itself, not under Data → Exports.
Export all your contacts
- Go to CRM → Contacts.
- Click Export at the top right of the table.
- Under Attributes, choose the columns you want and click Next.
- On the Summary step, check the Name, Decimal separator and Date notation. Turn on Email the export results to get the file by email as well. It's sent to your own address unless you change it, and you can add more addresses separated by commas. Click Start export.
- You land on the export's page. When it's finished, click Download.
This export always has every contact in it. Typing in the search field doesn't narrow it down.
Export the contacts in a list
To export only some of your contacts, put them in a list first.
- Go to CRM → Lists and open the list.
- Click Export above the list's contacts.
- Follow the same Attributes and Summary steps, and click Start export.
The overview under CRM → Lists has no Export button. Open the list first.
Download it later
Go to Data → Exports, open the export and click Download. That page lists the exports already started in your account, including your teammates'. There's no button there to start a new one.
Can't find Export?
On a phone or a narrow window, the Export button is hidden on Contacts and on a list. Use a computer or a wider window.
For exports of other data, such as transactions, orders or gift cards, see Where to start an export and where to find the file.
