How do I export my contacts from Close?

In Close, open Leads from the left-hand navigation, and apply filters if you only want part of the list. Open the ... menu at the top right of the leads list and select Export. Set Type to Contacts and choose CSV. Choose Fields in current view, Common fields or All fields, then start the export. Download the file from the link Close emails you. Contacts are exported from the Leads page, not the Contacts page. The emailed link expires after 7 days.

Do I need to change the Close CSV before uploading it?

No. The email column is found by its header or its contents, so the Close export works as it is. Every other column is kept, and the cleaned files come back with your original columns so you can import them straight back into Close.

Why verify a list that came from Close?

Subscribers who signed up years ago move jobs, abandon inboxes or typed their address wrong. Every send to a dead address in Close is a bounce on your sender reputation, and many ESPs bill by contact count, so removing dead addresses also lowers the bill.

How much does it cost?

Verification is $29.99 a month with no limit on verifications, for files up to 100,000 rows. See the pricing page for the plans.

Verify your Close export before you send
