Contacts CSV Export

Posted by Will Woodward on 14th April 2010 in Updates

We recently had a request to include positions and workplaces in the Contacts CSV export (thanks Jeff!), which we have now happily obliged - it's your data after all.

While we were rewriting the CSV export script, we found out that it might have also been a little buggy, with data in the wrong columns. This was due to the sheer amount of data some of our databases contain!

So we went ahead and rewrote the entire script, which is now much smarter and more organised. Each row will contain the following data for the Contact:

• Name (title, forename, surname)
• Personal phone numbers
• Personal email addresses and status (e.g., "Opted-in", "Opted-out")
• Personal addresses (split out into 'Description', 'Property', 'Street', 'Town', 'County', 'Postcode', 'Country')
• Positions:
  • Company name
  • Job title
  • Phone numbers
  • Email addresses and status (see above)
  • Company address (also split out into seven fields, see above)

All this change makes for a much more organised CSV export, for you to use as you wish!
