Export contacts to CSV
Download your contacts as a CSV, filtered to whatever the table is showing.
Click Export on the Contacts page to download your contacts as a CSV. The file matches whatever the page is filtered to, so filter first and you get exactly what you’re looking at. A list’s own page has its own Export button, pre-filtered to that list.
Up to 10,000 contacts download straight away. Above that, EmailFig builds the file in the background and emails you a download link when it’s ready.
What’s in the file
One row per contact:
| Column | Notes |
|---|---|
email_address |
|
first_name, last_name |
|
status |
subscribed, unsubscribed, cleaned or pending |
source |
where the contact came from |
subscribed_at |
|
tags |
tag names, separated by ; |
lists |
list names, separated by ; |
| one column per custom field | headed with the field’s key |
The tags and lists columns are for reading only: re-importing the file won’t recreate tag or list membership from them.
Re-importing an export
You can edit an exported file and import it back. Two things to know:
- Leave the
statuscolumn unmapped unless you mean to change opt-out state. It’s never mapped for you. - Re-importing can’t undo an opt-out. Suppressed addresses come back as cleaned, whatever the file says. See Suppressions.
