Export contacts to CSV
You can download the contacts of any table as a CSV file, to open in a spreadsheet or load into another tool. The export takes exactly what the table shows, so filter first and export second.
Steps
- Open the table you want to export:
- a list, or All Leads, from the Lists page;
- an Inbox view such as All Members, Relations, Contacts, Reminders, a tag or a pipeline.
- Narrow it down if needed: the filters of a list page, the tabs of the view (for example Relations in All Members) and the search bar all apply.
- Click Export CSV at the top right, next to the table title.
The file contacts_export.csv downloads straight away.
What the file contains
One row per contact shown in the table, with, when Swimlane knows them:
- first name, last name and display name;
- email, phone and website;
- company, position, headline and biography;
- location, country, city and language;
- tags and the contact's note;
- LinkedIn ID and LinkedIn URL, follower count, Premium and influencer flags, and whether you are connected;
- dates of last activity, last interaction, last contact and creation.
Values are separated by commas, wrapped in double quotes and encoded in UTF-8.
Good to know
- The table, not the selection. Ticked checkboxes are ignored: the export always contains every contact currently shown. To export a hand-picked group, tag it first, then export the tag's view in the Inbox sidebar.
- No pipeline stage or list names. The file doesn't say which lists or stage a contact is in. To export a pipeline's contacts, open it under Pipelines in the Inbox sidebar, or filter a list page with Added to a Pipeline.
- Computer only. The Export CSV button is hidden on small screens.
- Connection status is yours. The connected column reflects your own LinkedIn account, not your teammates'.
- Everything happens in your browser. The file is built from the contacts already loaded in the page. Nothing is sent to LinkedIn and no daily limit is used.
- To feed another tool continuously rather than by file, look at the public API or webhooks (see Swimlane public API reference).
