In compliance with GDPR, Freshsales incorporates an option where users can opt to export a record from their system. This allows them to download their data when they opt to move to a new CRM.

  

In this case, let us examine how to ‘export’ a contact:

TOTAL STEPS: 5

QUICK STEPS: Contacts section > Contact > Export > Download from email   


MINIMUM TIME REQUIRED: ~ 2 Min


DETAILED STEPS:

  1. On your Freshsales application, head to the contacts section. Find the contact of your choice and open the same.

  2. Click on the three vertical dots button. You will be presented with a drop down menu that allows you to execute various actions on your contact.

  3. Click the export button. This will initiate the process of creating a downloadable file that contains your contact information.

  4. This will be followed by a success message. You will now receive an email containing a zip file. The zip file contains your contact information.
