How to Export Your Contacts

Export your contacts to a CSV file or directly to one of your linked accounts. Exports contain personally identifiable information (e.g., Email and Name), basic analytics (e.g., Sessions and Pageviews), tags, and custom properties with names under 64 characters. All of this information is clearly labeled in the export's header row. 

Export contacts to CSV

To export contacts in your account to a CSV: 

  • Navigate to Contacts via the main navigation. 
  • If you want to export a specific segment of customers, select the desired filters from the sidebar and click the Filter button. If none are selected, the export contains all contacts. 
  • Select the Export () contacts dropdown menu. The number listed is the expected export size. 
  • Select Download CSV from the dropdown menu's options. 
  • Confirm your decision by selecting the Email CSV button in the prompt. 

When the export is ready, an email containing a download link will be sent to the email address associated with your Privy login. To review this address, select My Information from the Account menu at the top right. 

  • Click the Download File button in the email. 

The file will download and will be available for review or use elsewhere.

Troubleshoot export issues

No export email received - File preparation can take multiple minutes, especially if your export contains many contacts. That said, if you are still encountering issues receiving or accessing your exported CSVs via email, navigate to the Exports section of your account's Business Settings and initiate the download from there.
