As a Zoho Authorized Partner and a team of Zoho Certified Developers, iTecZone understands the importance of effective data management within Zoho CRM. One crucial aspect of this is the ability to export your contacts in a variety of formats. Whether you’re migrating data, creating targeted email lists, or simply backing up your records, exporting your Zoho CRM contacts is a valuable tool. Let’s dive into the methods.

- Select the contacts you want to export (specific categories, custom views, or all).
- Click the “Export” button.
2. Scheduled Export

- Select “Scheduled Export.”
- Create a new schedule, giving it a descriptive name.
