# Exporting Contacts

> How to download your VozAgent contacts as a CSV file, including exporting all contacts, filtered lists, and selected contacts.

VozAgent lets you download your contacts as a CSV file at any time. You can export your entire list, a filtered subset, or just the contacts you have selected. The CSV file can be opened in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet application.

## Export Options

There are two ways to export contacts from the Contacts page:

### Export All (or Filtered) Contacts

1. Go to **Contacts** in the left sidebar.
2. If you want to export a subset, apply any filters first (status filter, date range, or search). Only contacts matching your current filters will be exported.
3. Click the **Export CSV** button in the filter bar (next to the Refresh button).
4. A CSV file downloads automatically to your computer.

If no filters are applied, this exports your entire contact list.

### Export Selected Contacts

1. Use the checkboxes on the left side of the contacts table to select specific contacts. You can use the "Select all" checkbox in the header to select everyone in the current view.
2. Once contacts are selected, the **Actions** dropdown appears above the table showing how many contacts are selected.
3. Click **Actions**, then select **Export Selected**.
4. A CSV file containing only the selected contacts downloads to your computer.

## What Is Included in the Export

The exported CSV file includes the following columns:

| Column                     | Description                                                            |
| -------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **First Name**             | The contact's first name.                                              |
| **Last Name**              | The contact's last name (blank if not set).                            |
| **Phone Number**           | The contact's phone number with country code.                          |
| **Email**                  | Email address (blank if not set).                                      |
| **Company**                | Company or business name.                                              |
| **Job Title**              | The contact's role or position.                                        |
| **Status**                 | Active, Inactive, or Do Not Call.                                      |
| **Tags**                   | Tags separated by semicolons (e.g., "vip; customer").                  |
| **Notes**                  | Internal notes.                                                        |
| **Preferred Contact Time** | When the contact prefers to be reached.                                |
| **Time Zone**              | The contact's time zone.                                               |
| **Last Contacted**         | Date and time when the contact was last called.                        |
| **Source**                 | How the contact was added (Manual, CSV Import, Excel, Call, CRM, API). |
| **Created At**             | When the contact was added to VozAgent.                                |

## File Name

The downloaded file is named using the format:

```
contacts_YYYY-MM-DD.csv
```

For example, `contacts_2026-02-13.csv`. This makes it easy to keep track of when each export was created.

## Tips

* **Filters affect the export.** If you have an active status filter or date range applied, only matching contacts are exported. Check your filters before exporting to make sure you are getting the data you expect.
* **Use exports for backups.** Exporting your contacts regularly is a simple way to keep a backup of your data outside VozAgent.
* **Share with your team.** The CSV format works with any spreadsheet tool, making it easy to share contact lists with team members who may not have VozAgent access.
* **Re-import is easy.** If you need to move contacts to another VozAgent account or restore from a backup, you can use the CSV file with the [Import from CSV](/help/contacts-and-campaigns/importing-contacts-csv) feature.

## Admin Permissions

Only users with the **Admin** role can export contacts. If you are a regular user, the export options will not be available. Contact your organization admin if you need to download contact data.
