Your email list is one of the most valuable pieces of your business and is worth backing up regularly.
Easily export your email list from Kit anytime using a bulk action.
Here's how:
How to export all your subscribers
Navigate to Subscribers under the Grow tab in the navigation.
Click the checkbox at the top of the list of subscribers to select all of them. If you have more than 30 subscribers to select, click the confirmation link in the blue bar that pops up.
Click Bulk Actions > Export.
Here's a demo:
After clicking Export, this modal will pop up to confirm that your export file is now processing:
NOTE: Depending on how many subscribers you're exporting, receiving the export email may take several minutes.
How to export a segment of your list
If you haven't already, create a Segment of the subscribers you want to export.
Access the Segment by clicking its name from the Subscribers page's right sidebar.
Then, follow the same steps as above to select all subscribers in the Segment, and then use a bulk action to export them.
โจ TIP: You can export your subscribers from anywhere you're able to run bulk actions from. This means you can skip creating the Segment if you're able to access the correctly curated list of subscribers from elsewhere in your account (such as from a reports page).
How to download your export file
A download link for the export file will be emailed to the Kit account owner. The email address it is sent to cannot be changed at this time.
You can also download the file from directly within your Kit account by clicking the circle icon next to your profile picture in the navigation:
This menu also displays the statuses of all your bulk actions.
Export links will expire after five days. We highly recommend downloading your export as soon as possible once it's ready.
We also recommend backing your export file up to a cloud location (such as Dropbox or Google Drive), along with keeping a copy on your computer or external hard drive.
