How to export your contacts from TextMagic

TextMagic is a no-fuss utility, and its export matches: contacts and lists come out as CSV without ceremony. Here's the short version, plus what changes when you move somewhere conversation-shaped.

What exports from TextMagic

Contacts export with phone numbers, names, custom fields, and list membership. As of August 2026 export lives in the contacts area — TextMagic's support docs have the current path. Notes:

  1. Lists map to tags. If you organized contacts into lists, keep that structure in the export; it becomes your segmentation starting point elsewhere.
  2. Unsubscribed numbers stay unsubscribed. Export them with their status so the new platform can honor every prior opt-out from the first send.

What changes after a utility

Moving from a sending utility to a conversation platform changes what happens after the send more than the send itself. Replies stop being a shared phone's problem and land in one inbox with ownership and drafts waiting; delivery and click activity stays attached to contacts instead of ending at a sent-report. If you only ever send one-way alerts, honestly, a utility remains the right shape of tool — our comparison below says so in writing.

Importing your list into AutoCampaign.ai

Wherever you land, the import side is the easy half here: upload the CSV or Excel file, map your columns once, and tags and custom fields become attributes you can segment on immediately. Opt-in status is recorded on every imported contact, STOP requests are honored automatically from the first send, and your first campaign shows its estimated cost before you press send.

If you're still deciding where to go, our TextMagic comparison is the honest version — including the cases where staying put is the right call. The pricing grid is public, so you can do the math before you create an account.
