Export contacts to CSV

Click Export CSV on the Contacts page. It exports the list as filtered, with every answer people gave as its own column.

On the Contacts page, click Export CSV. You get a CSV file of the contacts currently in the list, so filter first to export just one keyword's or one tag's contacts.

Steps

  1. In the app, click Contacts.
  2. Optional: click Filters and choose a Keyword, a Tag, or Has email to narrow the list.
  3. Click Export CSV.
  4. Your browser downloads a file named like contacts-2026-11-03.csv.

You can also start from Keyword Activity: View contacts on a keyword or tag opens the Contacts list already filtered, ready to export.

What's in the file

One row per contact, with these columns first:

Column What it holds
phone Their mobile number
email Their email address, if they gave one
first_name, last_name Their name, if they gave it
opted_out yes or no
first_seen, last_seen Dates and times of their first and latest activity
keywords Every keyword they've texted, separated by spaces

After those, every other answer people gave gets its own column, such as company, zip, or a custom data label.

Each poll is a column headed with "Poll:" and its question. It shows the answer they picked, or "No response" for someone who was asked and didn't answer. If someone answered the same question more than once, the newest answer is used.

Opening it in a spreadsheet

Answers that start with =, +, -, or @ are saved with a leading apostrophe, so a spreadsheet won't treat someone's text as a formula.

Frequently asked questions

Are tags included in the export?
Not as a column. To export the people with a tag, filter Contacts by that Tag first, then export.
Can I send contacts to my email tool without exporting?
Yes. Mailchimp, Kit, ActiveCampaign, HubSpot, Zapier, and webhooks can receive each contact as they finish a flow. See which integration to use.
