Export people and memberships

Request an Admin-only CSV, choose fields, and securely download current people or group membership data.

Request a People directory export

  1. Select people

    As an account Admin, open People, choose Select, and select the directory rows to include. An export supports up to 10,000 people.

  2. Choose Export

    Name and Primary Email are always included. Select the active custom fields the CSV should contain; fields with values are selected initially.

  3. Request the export

    TellTell creates the file asynchronously. Current Admins are notified when it is ready.

  4. Download from Settings Log

    Open the authenticated Settings Log entry and download the ready file before it expires after seven days.

Export one group's memberships

Open Groups, select the group, and choose Export above the member list. The export request captures that group scope; TellTell resolves its effective membership while generating the file.

Understand the file and download security

  • The CSV follows the TellTell import format, including one column per selected custom field and compatible JSON for structured values.
  • Values are escaped to prevent spreadsheet formulas from running when the CSV is opened.
  • Files are private. TellTell rechecks the signed-in Admin, account, ready state, and expiration at download time.
  • The readiness email links to the authenticated Settings Log; it is not a bearer link to the member-data file.
