Export a segment of contacts into a spreadsheet

Article: 000026475
Updated: March 7, 2025

Create a back-up file of your custom or prebuilt segments by exporting them into a downloadable CSV file or Excel spreadsheet

Exporting custom or prebuilt segment lets you save a static list of the contacts that are currently in the segment at the time you export it. Exporting your segment doesn't remove it from Constant Contact, but gives you an electronic back-up for your records.

The CSV download is available on the Import and Export Activity page for 7 days after you export the data. CSV files can be opened with Excel or other spreadsheet programs.
