Exported subscriber lists typically download as CSV (Comma Separated Values) files that can be opened in spreadsheet applications like Excel or Google Sheets. This format allows for easy import into most email marketing platforms and CRM systems.

Subscriber Consent Management

Your subscriber list represents individuals who have actively opted in to receive communications from your organization. This consent-based approach helps ensure higher engagement rates and compliance with email marketing regulations.
