Exporting contacts¶
Warning
On larger mautics or filtered contact overview, this process can lock the database, and thus the application for some time. Creating reports is a more safe (not perfect) approach.
Exporting contacts from Mautic to a CSV file is a straightforward process that allows users to manage their contact lists efficiently. This process is essential for users who need to utilize their contact data outside of Mautic, such as for analysis, reporting, or integration with other systems. Mautic supports exporting contacts in both CSV and Excel formats. The exported file can be sent to the user's email or downloaded directly from the system.
Info
You will need access to Mautic with the necessary permissions to export contacts and an email address associated with your Mautic user profile to receive the download link.
Steps¶
- Log in to your Mautic account.
- Navigate to the Contacts page.
- Select the contacts you wish to export by checking the boxes next to their names.
- If you want to export all contacts, skip this step by selecting none.
- Click on the dropdown menu at the top of the contact list.
- Choose Export to CSV or Export to Excel depending on your preference.
- Check your email for a link to download the CSV file if you selected Export to CSV.
- If you chose Export to Excel, the file should start downloading immediately.
Results¶
- A CSV or Excel file containing the exported contacts should be in your designated download folder or received via email.
Info
Be aware that exporting a large number of contacts may result in a queued process, so patience may be required.
