How to Export Contacts from Spark

From time to time, you may need to export contacts from Spark, for example, as a pre-import backup or to update certain contact data points en masse via import. Here's how:

1. Go to Menu → Contacts → List

   • Filter the list if you only want to export a subset of contacts, or leave the list unfiltered to export all contacts

2. Click the micromenu and select the Export option

   • The micromenu is represented by three dots (⋮) toward the top of the page

3. Define your export

   • To export a template of selected columns that has been saved previously, click the name of the export template
   • To start a new export or export template, click New Export Template

4. Choose what data points to export

   • Select data points from the left column and click in the right column to add them to your export
   • If you know the name of the field you are looking for, you can use the search bar to find it more quickly
   • Drag and drop fields on the right to change the order of the columns in your resulting export
   • Your export will be sorted based on the first column
5. Send your export
   
   • Confirm you have the correct email address(es) in the To field at the top of the page
   • Optional: add any relevant notes, which will appear in the body of the export email
   • Optional: if you anticipate needing to export this information on a regular basis, save it as an export template so you don't need to build the export from scratch each time; give the template a name in the Template Name field and click Save Export, then click on the template name to open it
   • When you are ready, click Send Export
