Create a backup file of a specific contact list or segment by exporting it onto a downloadable CSV file or Excel spreadsheet

Exclamation Point IconImportant: If you need to track the permission status of your contacts for CASL or the GDPR, make sure the Advanced Email Permissions are enabled before you export your contacts. The exported spreadsheet doesn't include the permission status unless the permissions are enabled.

 

When you need to export your contact lists, you've got flexibility! First, choose your list or segment, and then select the contact information you want to include in your exported file.
