How To Export Tagged Contacts From Facebook Messenger into Google Sheet

This tutorial walks you through exporting your tagged contacts from ChatSilo directly into a Google Sheet so you can easily organize, filter, and analyze your contact data in one place.

Before you begin: Make sure you have created a copy of the official ChatSilo Google Sheet template and set its link-sharing permission to Anyone with the link can edit. Without Editor access, ChatSilo will not be able to write contact data into your sheet.

Step 1: Connect and verify your Google Sheet

Open the ChatSilo extension in Facebook Messages, click the menu in the top-right corner, and select Export tagged contacts.

Under STEP 1: Enter your Google Sheet URL, paste your Google Sheet link into the input field and click Verify. Once connected, a green Verified badge (❶) will appear.

Tip: If you need the pre-formatted sheet layout, click the Required column structure: Google Sheet Template & Format link shown right below the input field to create a copy.

Step 2: Select the tags to export

In the Select tags to export panel on the left (❶), check the boxes next to the tag categories you want to include (such as Group leads, Chatsilo, or Follow ups).

You can pick specific tags or check Select all tags at the top to export your entire contact database at once.

Step 3: Click "Start Export"

Under STEP 2: Execute Export, click the purple Start Export button (❶) to initiate the transfer.

Tip: If you want new contacts to be added to your Google Sheet automatically whenever you tag them in Facebook Messenger, switch on the Export While Tagging (AUTO-SYNC) toggle below the export button.

Step 4: Review your exported data in Google Sheets

Open your Google Sheet to confirm that your contacts have populated. The sheet will automatically list each contact's Profile URL, First Name, Last Name, assigned Tags, and the date Added On, alongside any personal notes you saved.

Next Steps

Your contacts are now safely synced to Google Sheets. You can use Google Sheets' built-in filter and sort features to segment your audience, share the roster with your sales team, or import the data into your favorite CRM.
