> Select leads on the Leads page and download a CSV with scores, grades, signals, signal sources, and any contact details Embers already stores.

The CSV export downloads the leads you selected on the Leads page as a spreadsheet. It is the quickest way to hand a batch of scored leads to someone who does not use Embers. For a feed that keeps itself up to date, [send leads to a live destination](/help/integrations/overview/) instead.

## Export a selection

### Filter the list first

Open **Leads** in the sidebar (`/leads`) and narrow the list with the tabs and [filters](/help/leads/leads-list/) until it holds what you want. The export follows your selection, so the filtering is the real work.

### Select the leads

There are three scopes:

- **Individual rows.** Tick the rows you want. The selection bar counts them.
- **The current page.** Tick the header checkbox. With nothing ticked, exporting takes the page you are looking at.
- **Everything matching.** The selection bar offers to select every lead matching your current filters, not only the page.

Everything matching means every lead that matches, however many there are. The file is built on the server in one pass, so a set of tens of thousands of leads takes a few seconds longer before the download starts.

### Export

Choose **Export** in the toolbar above the list (after **View**) or in the selection bar, or press `Cmd` + `E` on a Mac, `Ctrl` + `E` on Windows and Linux. The shortcut does not fire while you are typing in a field.

Ticked selections are fetched in batches of 100 and joined into one file before the download starts, so a few thousand rows take a moment.

## Every column in the file

The file is UTF-8 with a byte order mark, so accented names open correctly in Excel.

| Column | What it contains |
| --- | --- |
| Name | The full name as LinkedIn shows it |
| First Name | Present only when the split name setting is on |
| Last Name | Present only when the split name setting is on |
| Title | Current role |
| Company | Current employer |
| Industry | Industry on the profile |
| Location | Location on the profile |
| Country | The country their location names, such as United States. Blank when it names none |
| Company Size | Their employer's LinkedIn headcount band, such as 51-200 |
| Company Employees | The employee count on their employer's LinkedIn page, once Embers has read it |
| Company Industry | Their employer's industry, one of 20, such as Financial Services |
| Company LinkedIn URL | Their employer's LinkedIn page, from the current role on their profile |
| Company Website | Their employer's website, from its LinkedIn page. Blank until Embers has read the page |
| Company Domain | The same website as a bare domain, such as acme.com |
| LinkedIn URL | The public profile URL |
| Score | The composite score, rounded, 0 to 100 |
| Grade | Derived from the score: A at 80, B at 60, C at 40, D at 20, else F |
| ICP Match | The ICP verdict, including a manual override when you set one |
| ICP Confidence | Confidence as a percentage. Blank when there is no verdict |
| Trend | Whether the lead is [rising, stable, or cooling](/help/leads/how-scoring-works/) |
| Engagements | Total engagement count, the same number the Leads table shows. It includes posts by this lead that you or a watched profile commented on, each counted once |
| Last Engaged | Date of the most recent engagement, the same date the Leads table shows |
| First Seen | Date Embers first saw this person |
| Status | Pipeline status. Defaults to active |
| Top Signals | Every signal, joined with a pipe, not only the first |
| Signal Source | Where the lead engaged, most recent first: `Your post`, `Your comment`, `Keyword post`, `Qualified post`, or a watched profile with its role, such as `Taktile (Competitor)`. Several sources are joined with a pipe |
| Signal Date | The latest engagement date for each entry in Signal Source, in the same order |
| Email | Stored email, blank when none is stored or during the free trial |
| Phone | Stored phone, blank when none is stored or during the free trial |
| Contact Enriched At | When the contact details were found |
| Contact Source | Where they came from |
| Contact Confidence | `safe`, `verified`, or `risky` |
| Contact Included | `true` only when a stored email or phone exists |

Signal Source and Signal Date line up entry for entry, so splitting both on the pipe gives one date per source. That lets you separate people who engaged with your own content from people who engaged with a competitor's.

First Name and Last Name appear only when **Show first and last name separately** is on, under **Settings**, then **Profile** (`/settings/profile`). The same switch is **First + last name** in the Leads table's **Edit columns** menu; see [account settings](/help/account-and-billing/account-settings/). Leave it off and you get a single Name column.

## What Embers does behind the button

Contact columns carry only what Embers already stores. Exporting never triggers a fresh lookup, so a blank Email is a lead nobody has [revealed contact details](/help/outreach/lead-enrichment-and-contact-info/) for yet, not a lead with no email. During the [free trial](/help/account-and-billing/free-trial/) the contact columns are in the file but always blank.

Text cells that begin with `=`, `+`, `-`, `@`, a tab, or a carriage return get an apostrophe in front. Spreadsheets treat those characters as the start of a formula, and a name or a comment should never run when someone opens the file.

The filename tells you the scope and the date: `embers-leads-page-2-2026-09-29.csv` for a page, `embers-leads-matching-2026-09-29.csv` for everything matching, or `embers-leads-120-2026-09-29.csv`, with the count, for a ticked selection.

## Troubleshooting

**Fewer rows than expected.** Some rows stopped matching the filters before the export ran. Refresh the list and export again.

**Nothing downloads.** No leads matched what was selected. Tick at least one row, or refresh a stale page.

**The shortcut does nothing.** Focus is in a text field, or the workspace is on Free. Click the table, then retry.

**Email and Phone are empty for every row.** The workspace is on the free trial, or no contact details have been revealed yet.

## Frequently asked questions

**Does exporting look up missing emails?**

No. The file carries only contact details Embers already stores. A blank Email means nobody has revealed one for that lead yet.

**How many leads can I export at once?**

All of them. Selecting every lead matching the filters exports every one of those leads in one file, however many there are.
