  description: '> Bulk-export contacts to a CSV file


    An Export Action generates a CSV of an audience of contacts in a single async operation. Supply `fields` to control which contact columns appear in the CSV (including custom attribute keys). Once complete, the `file_url` field on the record contains a download URL.


    **Target selection** — supply exactly one of:

    - `stable_id` — a URL-encoded Refine `stable_id` token.

    - `stored_filter_id` — the `id` or `public_id` of a saved `Refine::StoredFilter` (ContactsFilter). Also accepted as `filter_id`.

    - `target_ids` — an explicit array of contact public IDs.

    - `target_all` — `true` to target every contact in the workspace.


    **Progress tracking** — after creating an Export Action, poll it with `GET /api/v2/contacts/export_actions/{id}`. When complete, `file_url` contains the CSV download URL.

          items:
            type: string
          description: The contact field keys to include as columns in the exported CSV. Standard keys include `email_address`, `first_name`, `last_name`, `tag_ids`, `phone_number`, etc. Custom attribute keys are also accepted. Required.

          type: string
          description: A URL-encoded Refine `stable_id` token — the standard gzip+base64 full-state format used by both the `contacts/filters` API endpoint and the server-rendered filter UI, making tokens interoperable. Returned by `POST /api/v2/workspaces/{workspace_id}/contacts/filters` in the `stable_id` field. Pass the token exactly as returned; do not decode or re-encode it. The server persists the decoded filter so the async job can re-derive the audience at perform time. Mutually exclusive with `stored_filter_id`, `target_ids`, and `target_all`.
        stored_filter_id:
          type: string

        target_ids:
          type: array
          items:
            type: string

        target_all:
