How Do I Export Subscribers From Squarespace?

Exporting subscribers from Squarespace is a straightforward process. Below are the detailed steps along with considerations and limitations for exporting subscribers from two common sources within Squarespace: the Email Campaign feature and the Form Blocks.

Exporting Subscribers from Email Campaigns

1. Log In to Your Squarespace Account:

2. Navigate to Squarespace and log in with your credentials.

3. Access Email Campaigns:

4. From the Home Menu, click on "Marketing."

5. Select "Email Campaigns" from the dropdown menu.

6. Navigate to Subscribers:

7. In the Email Campaigns panel, click on "Subscribers."

8. Export Subscribers:

9. Locate the "Export" button, which is usually found in the top right corner of the Subscribers panel.

10. Click "Export." This action will generate a .CSV (Comma Separated Values) file containing your subscribers' information.

11. Download and Save the File:

12. After clicking the export button, the system will prepare your .CSV file for download.
13. Once the file is ready, download it and save it to your desired location on your computer.

Exporting Data from Form Blocks

1. Log In to Your Squarespace Account:

2. Navigate to Squarespace and log in with your credentials.

3. Access the Specific Page with the Form Block:

4. Navigate to the page containing the form block from which you want to export subscriber data.

5. Open the Form Block:

6. Enter the page editor by clicking "Edit" for the respective page.

7. Click on the form block you are focusing on.

8. Access Form Data:

9. In the form settings, click on "Storage."
10. Find the storage options where the form submissions are saved (e.g., Google Sheets, Zapier, MailChimp, or Email).

11. If "Email" was chosen, export options are not directly available. You would need to export data from your email manually.

12. Export to Google Sheets (if configured):

13. If you have set up a Google Sheet to capture form submissions, open the linked Google Sheet.
14. Use the Google Sheets built-in export feature: Click "File" > "Download" > Select the desired format (e.g., .CSV).

Considerations and Limitations

1. Frequency of Export:

2. Regularly exporting your subscriber list ensures that you have an up-to-date copy, especially before making significant changes to your website or marketing strategy.

3. Data Management:

4. Be cautious about data privacy regulations like GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act). Ensure that you have consent from users to export and use their data.

5. Formatting:

6. While .CSV is a common format, ensure that your contact management or email marketing software supports importing .CSV files.

7. Data Accuracy:

8. Periodically clean and validate your subscriber list to avoid issues related to outdated or inaccurate email addresses.

By following these steps, you can efficiently export your subscribers from Squarespace and utilize their information for various marketing and communication purposes. Always handle subscriber data responsibly and in compliance with applicable data protection laws.
