Working with Salesforce often means dealing with large volumes of data — Accounts, Contacts, Leads, and custom object records. While Salesforce provides list views to filter and view records, exporting those lists into Excel for reporting, sharing, or analysis can sometimes be challenging.
That’s where Astrea Listview Export, a Chrome Extension built for Salesforce users, comes in. This powerful tool makes exporting list views effortless, whether you’re working in Salesforce Classic or Lightning Experience.
Why Do You Need a List View Export Tool?
Sales teams, admins, and analysts often need to:
- Share filtered lists of records with colleagues.
- Perform offline analysis in Excel.
- Import Salesforce data into external systems.
- Create ad-hoc reports without waiting for IT or admins.
Out of the box, Salesforce doesn’t always make it easy to export list views, especially in Lightning. That’s where the Astrea Listview Export saves time and effort.
