Overview of Exporting Sub-Accounts List

The Sub-Accounts List Export feature enables agency teams to quickly generate CSV reports that include key details about all sub-accounts. This feature streamlines the process of obtaining comprehensive sub-account data, providing users with a simple solution to access and analyze vast amounts of information that would otherwise be time-consuming to gather manually.

It honors filters applied on the Sub-Accounts list, processes the file off-screen, and emails it to selected users once ready. By removing the need to keep your browser open and delivering a complete snapshot of your filtered view, it’s built for scale, accuracy, and team-wide sharing.

Key Benefits of the Sub-Accounts Export Feature

  • Filtered Exports: The CSV reflects exactly what you filtered on the Sub-Accounts list before exporting

  • Comprehensive Export Details: Provides a wide range of useful account-level data in one centralized file

  • Off-Screen Processing: Runs in the background meaning you can safely navigate away while the file is being prepared

  • Targeted Email Delivery: Send the download link directly to selected teammates, no manual forwarding required

  • Built for Volume: Handles thousands of records efficiently, even for complex SaaS setups

Filtering Data Included in Export

Filters allow you to narrow the export to exactly the accounts you need, removing irrelevant data and ensuring the CSV matches your current view. When you start an export, any filters you’ve applied (such as SaaS mode, Subscription Status, or Assigned Snapshot) will be reflected in the final file.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do exports include only the filtered sub-accounts?
Yes. The CSV respects all filters applied on the Sub-Accounts list at the time you start the export.

Q: How long do exports take?
Typical processing is 7–10 minutes, but large exports (thousands of sub-accounts) may take longer. You’ll receive an email when it’s ready.

Q: What happens if the email link expires?
Links expire after 7 days. Run the export again to generate a fresh link.

Q: Can I still download the file directly in the browser?
No. The export is processed asynchronously and delivered by email to selected recipients.

Q: How is this different from exporting contacts?
Contacts export is an in-app download scoped to a single sub-account. A sub-accounts list export is an agency-level CSV delivered by email and has information covering multiple sub-accounts
