Export leads

Export leads to CSV or JSON from any list, pipeline or selection, with only revealed contact fields and their sources.

2 min readLast updated Sep 28, 2026

You can export your leads at any time, on every plan. Exports are CSV or JSON, include your custom fields and provenance, and contain only the contact details you've revealed.

Export from a list or pipeline

Open the leads you want
Go to a list, a pipeline in table view, or the companies view. Apply filters if you want a subset.
Click Export
The button is at the top right of the table. It exports every lead that matches the current filters, not just the visible page.
Pick a format
Choose CSV for spreadsheets or JSON for code and other tools.
Choose columns
Keep the default columns or pick your own. Custom fields are listed at the end.
Download
Click Export. Small exports download immediately. Large ones run in the background, and you'll get a notification with the download link.

To export a hand-picked set, select rows first and choose Export in the action bar.

What's included

Included	Notes
Name, role, organization, location	Always
Email and phone	Only if revealed. Masked fields are left empty.
Verification status and confidence	For revealed emails
Source URL and found date	One pair per contact field, for example `email_source_url` and `email_found_at`
Stage, owner, tags	Per pipeline for leads in several pipelines
Custom fields	One column per field
Source lens, lawful basis	For compliance records
Suppression status	So your other tools can respect it
Do-not-call flag	`phone_do_not_call` is `true` when the phone is on your do-not-call list or its owner removed it

Exports never include contacts you haven't revealed. That keeps exports consistent with what you paid for and stops masked data leaving OmniLead.

CSV details

UTF-8 with a header row. Excel opens it correctly with Data → From Text/CSV.
Phone numbers are in E.164, such as +14155550123.
Multi-value fields, such as tags, are separated by semicolons.
Dates use ISO 8601, such as 2026-09-12.

JSON details

The JSON export is an array of lead objects, with the same fields as the REST API returns, including a sources array for provenance.

Who can export

Owners, admins and members can export. Every export is recorded in the audit log with who ran it, when, and how many leads it contained. Admins can review exports in Settings → Workspace → Audit log.

Exporting one person's data

If someone asks for a copy of the data you hold about them, open their profile and choose Export this lead. The file includes every field, its source, notes and the activity history.
