You can export your contacts directly to a CSV file via the Search tool or your tables. Use Lusha data everywhere in your workflows that support CSV imports.

# Export Contacts to CSV file

Lusha provides various bulk export options to help users 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

### Exporting Contacts to a CSV File from the Search

1. First, reveal the relevant contacts by pressing **"Show details"** from the upper bar.
![Show details button](https://downloads.intercomcdn.eu/i/o/yu27vhse/55410259/833fe5f126dfcd7bda00c57b8bfb/Screenshot%2B2025-02-27%2Bat%2B15_11_17.png)
2. Mark the revealed contacts you wish to export.
3. Press on the **"Export"** icon:

4. 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."

💡 When exporting your CSV, you will have the option to include unshown contacts from your table.

### Exporting from a Workspace Table

If you're working in Workspace, the export flow supports more options — including exporting selected rows, the current page, or all rows at once, as well as pushing directly to your CRM or an Engage sequence.

⚠️ **You cannot export the "All Contacts" table.** Exports are only available from saved tables or from Prospecting search results. If you need to export a large segment, save it as a table first, then export from there.

See [Exporting from a Workspace Table](/user-guide/managing-and-exporting-data/exporting-from-a-workspace-table) for the full guide.

## CSV fields

The exported file contains those fields, for **shown contacts only** (**If available to your plan & according to the availability of the data**):

## 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. Navigate to **Accounts → Exports → Export History**.
2. Find the relevant export and check its status.


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-table exports) can take several minutes.

**What to do:**

1. Wait a few minutes, then refresh **Accounts → Exports → Export History**.
2. 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. If it remains stuck, contact [Lusha Support](https://www.lusha.com/contact/) 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. Go to **Accounts → Exports → Export History** and confirm the status is Failed.
2. Try the export again. If you were exporting from Search, re-apply your filters and repeat the steps.
3. If the export fails again, try reducing the number of contacts and export in smaller batches.
4. If failures continue, contact [Lusha Support](https://www.lusha.com/contact/).


### Download email never arrived

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

1. Check your spam or junk folder for an email with the subject **"Your download is ready."**
2. Make sure you're checking the inbox of the account you used to initiate the export.
3. 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. Note that download links from email are active for **24 hours**. If yours has expired, run the export again.

 Export emails come from 
code
noreply@lusha.com
. If you're not seeing them, ask your IT team to whitetable this address.
### Exported file is incomplete or missing contacts

If the downloaded CSV has fewer contacts than expected, or some rows are empty:

1. 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.
2. Check whether you selected specific contacts before exporting. If you only selected a subset, only those contacts will be in the file.
3. 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.
4. If contacts you know were revealed are missing entirely, try re-exporting. If the issue persists, contact [Lusha Support](https://www.lusha.com/contact/).


💡 If your CSV file opens but the data appears jumbled or in a single column, see [CSV file opens in the wrong format](https://info.lusha.com/en/articles/196633-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](https://www.lusha.com/contact/) and we'll help you get your export on track.
