You can export your contacts directly to a CSV file via the Search tool or your lists. Use Lusha data everywhere in your workflows that support CSV imports.
Exporting to CSV from the Search tool is available for up to 150 contacts. The Lusha Chrome extension does not export to CSV directly - from LinkedIn or Sales Navigator, you can bulk reveal or save up to 25 contacts to a table at a time, then export that table to CSV with no limit on the number of contacts. See Bulk save to table on LinkedIn Sales Navigator.

​
Overview of export limits

Lusha provides various bulk export options to help you efficiently manage and export contact and company data. Below is a detailed overview of the bulk export limits across different platforms and use cases.

​
How it works

This section covers exporting from the classic Lusha Prospecting search. If you are working in a Workspace search or filter view, CSV export is not available directly - you must first save your results as a Workspace table, then export from there. See Exporting from a Workspace Table.
1

Reveal the contacts

First, reveal the relevant contacts by pressing “Show details” from the upper bar.
2

Mark contacts to export

Mark the revealed contacts you wish to export.
3

Press the Export icon

Press on the “Export” icon.
4

Confirm the export

A notification will appear confirming the export, and the CSV file will be saved to your computer, your email, and in the Export History part of the platform.
Ensure you are logged into Lusha with the same account that initiated the export to access the email titled “Your download is ready.”
Exporting contacts from Prospecting is only available after the Show details action.

​
Using exported CSV files

Once you have downloaded the CSV file, you can open it using a spreadsheet application for easy viewing and management:
  • Microsoft Excel: Open Excel and import or open the CSV file to display the data in columns.
  • Google Sheets: Upload the CSV file to Google Drive and open it with Google Sheets to view the data in a readable table format.
Both options render the CSV data into rows and columns, making it easy to analyze and manage your contact information.

​
Export history and troubleshooting

If your export isn’t behaving as expected, start by checking its status in your Lusha account:
1

Open Export History

Navigate to Accounts → Exports → Export History.
2

Check the export's status

Find the relevant export and check its status.
3

Resolve the issue

Use the scenarios below to resolve the most common export issues.

​
Export is stuck in “Pending”

A Pending status means the export is still being processed. Large exports (especially full-list exports) can take several minutes. What to do:
1

Wait and refresh

Wait a few minutes, then refresh Accounts → Exports → Export History.
2

Try a smaller batch

If the export is still Pending after 15 minutes, try exporting a smaller batch (e.g., 150 contacts at a time) to check whether the issue is size-related.
3

Contact Lusha Support

If it remains stuck, contact Lusha Support with the date and time of the export.

​
Export shows “Failed”

A Failed status usually means something interrupted the export during processing. What to do:
1

Confirm the failed status

Go to Accounts → Exports → Export History and confirm the status is Failed.
2

Retry the export

Try the export again. If you were exporting from Search, re-apply your filters and repeat the steps.
3

Export in smaller batches

If the export fails again, try reducing the number of contacts and export in smaller batches.
4

Contact Lusha Support

If failures continue, contact Lusha Support.

​
Download email never arrived

For large list exports, Lusha sends a download link to your email. If you haven’t received it:
1

Check spam or junk folder

Check your spam or junk folder for an email with the subject “Your download is ready.”
2

Confirm you're checking the right inbox

Make sure you’re checking the inbox of the account you used to initiate the export.
3

Check Export History directly

Go to Accounts → Exports → Export History. If the status shows Completed, you can download the file directly from there - no need to wait for the email.
4

Re-run an expired export

Note that download links from email are active for 24 hours. If yours has expired, run the export again.
Export emails come from no-reply@lusha.com. If you’re not seeing them, ask your IT team to whitelist this address.

​
Exported file is incomplete or missing contacts

If the downloaded CSV has fewer contacts than expected, or some rows are empty:
  • Remember that the CSV only includes shown (revealed) contacts. Contacts you browsed but did not reveal will not appear in the file. To include them, use the Show details action first, then export.
  • Check whether you selected specific contacts before exporting. If you only selected a subset, only those contacts will be in the file.
  • If some contacts have blank fields (e.g., no phone number), this means that data was not available in Lusha’s database for those contacts - it is not an export error.
  • If contacts you know were revealed are missing entirely, try re-exporting. If the issue persists, contact Lusha Support.
If your CSV file opens but the data appears jumbled or in a single column, see CSV file opens in the wrong format for formatting fixes.
You’re all set! If you run into an issue not covered here, reach out to Lusha Support and we’ll help you get your export on track.
