Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Navigate to the Export Tool
From your Text In Church dashboard, head to the Tools section on the left-hand side.
Then click on Export People.
Option 1: Export Text Messages
If you want to export your message history:
Scroll to the Text Messages section.
Click the blue “Export” button.
That’s it! The system will automatically queue the export and send it to your email as a downloadable CSV file.
Option 2: Export Member Data
To export contact info for people in your database:
Scroll to the top section under "People Data."
Select a group (or all contacts) you want to export.
Choose the type of export:
Basic Fields – Includes first name, last name, address, and group info.
Select Fields – Allows you to pick from all available contact data (email, phone, birthday, tags, etc.).
Click the blue “Export” button.
You’ll see a pop-up confirming: “Your export is queued. We will send you an email shortly with your data as a CSV file.”
📩 The file will be emailed to the address associated with your Text In Church user account.
Helpful Tips
The exported file will be in CSV format, which you can open with Excel, Google Sheets, or most spreadsheet tools.
If you don’t see the email right away, check your spam or promotions folder.
