Planning Center lets you export your people as a CSV, either your entire database or just a filtered list. To do it you need to be an Organization administrator or manager, or have Can export CSVs and reports checked under your People permissions.
Export Everyone
Use this to pull every profile in your database.
- Open the People page from the top navigation.
- Click the Actions button at the top of the page.
- Choose Import & Export CSV from the dropdown.
- Click Start Export.
- Click Generate and send CSV. Planning Center emails you a link to download the file. For a large database this can take a few minutes to arrive.
Export a Specific Group
If you only need certain people, build a list of them first. On that list, show the columns you want to export, then click the download (⬇️) icon at the top of the page.
- Choose whether to export all data for the people on the list, or only the columns you've displayed.
- Fewer than 500 results: the CSV downloads automatically when you click Generate CSV.
- More than 500 results: click Generate and send CSV and Planning Center emails you the download link.
A Note on Permissions
Information stored in private custom fields only exports for people who have access to those fields. If a column comes through empty, check whether it's a restricted field you don't have access to.
