How to Export Your Leads/Lead Details?
1. Feature Overview
We respect the confidentiality of the data you store in LeadSquared. You can export all your leads at any time from the Manage Leads page or the Smart Views page. The exported leads are sent to your registered email address in CSV format.
Note:
- By default, you can export up to 1 lakh (100,000) leads from your account. To increase this limit to 5 lakh (500,000) leads, contact your account manager, or write to support@leadsquared.com.
- Even when you give us support access to your account, our representatives don’t have the ability to export your data.
- The downloaded CSV file, when opened in excel or similar applications, should not require any special permission to view data. For example, “asking permission to run macros”. If you find such instances, please report them back to us at support@leadsquared.com or connect with your account manager.
- If the value of a field starts with the following characters + , – , = , | , @ they will be enclosed within quotes in the exported CSV file. This is done to prevent issues that may arise in Excel (such as format issues, excel injections, etc.) as a result of special characters in the cells.
2. Prerequisites
You won’t be able to export leads if your administrator has restricted export access through permission templates. If you don’t see the export option, contact your administrator.

7. FAQs
1.Why is my Lead Import stuck in “In Queue” status?
Lead imports are processed in batches, and your request may be waiting behind others in the queue. This is normal and usually occurs during peak usage hours. The system prioritizes execution during off-business hours, so your import should typically complete overnight. If it remains in queue for more than 24 hours, reach out to support@leadsquared.com for assistance.
