Complete guide to exporting US WA numbers: CSV/TXT listing, encoding specifications and downstream import best practices

After filtering out the US WA number from KK-DATA, the correctness of the export format directly affects subsequent CRM import, mass sending tool adaptation and secondary cleaning efficiency. After receiving the CSV, many operations teams waste hours due to confusing coding, misunderstood column names, or incompatible delimiters. This article will systematically sort out the US WhatsApp number export specifications, covering field meanings, encoding choices, common errors and downstream import techniques to help you efficiently process US wa activation data.

What is US WA number export? Why is exporting a file so important?

US WA number export refers to downloading the US WhatsApp number results (such as activation status, active time, gender and other fields) after KK-DATA screening to the local in CSV or TXT format. These data are the basis for adding friends in batches, private message promotion, and community operations in overseas marketing. The format standardization of export files determines:

• Whether the column names match when importing into CRM (such as HubSpot, Salesforce)
• Can the mass sending script correctly parse the number and status?
• Whether the downstream system has garbled characters, scientific notation or truncation

In short, ignoring the export specification, the filter number results are discounted.

What formats are supported for US WA number export? How to choose between CSV and TXT?

The KK-DATA console provides CSV export by default and also supports TXT pure number list. The following comparison helps you choose by scenario:

Properties	CSV	TXT
Structure	With column headers, each column corresponds to a field	Without column headers, each line has a number or plain text
Applicable scenarios	Database import, CRM matching, complex query	Simple number list, self-built script, batch import
FAQ	Encoding/delimiter needs to be adapted	No field information, cannot filter
Recommended use	Initial access, field analysis, multi-dimensional filtering	Only numbers, fast batch operations

Recommendation: CSV is preferred in most business scenarios, and the complete screening fields can be retained. If the downstream system only needs a list of numbers (such as some automatic friend-adding tools), it is more concise to choose TXT.

Column names and field meanings in CSV format

The column names of the CSV export are dynamically determined by the detection type. Common columns (subject to actual console output) include:

• Number (phone): E.164 format (such as +12025551234), including US international code +1
• Country code (country_code): such as 1
• Activation status (active): true means registered for WhatsApp, false means not registered
• Activity (last_active/last_online): Last online time (UTC), or simple true/false
• Gender (gender): Probabilistic identification result, male/female/unknown
• Age (age): Probability recognition result, such as 25-34
• Avatar (avatar): yes/no
• Name (name): possible name inferred from public information (for auxiliary reference only)

Note: Some fields (such as gender and age) are derived from algorithmic identification and are not 100% accurate. In particular, the gender data in US WA Number is only for preliminary stratification of the population and cannot be used as a precise demographic.

Usage scenarios of TXT format

The TXT file has one number per line and no column headers. Suitable for the following scenarios:

• Import group sending tools that only support pure number lists (such as some PVA software)
• Self-built script to preload numbers before sending in batches
• Embed phone number field in email marketing

The disadvantage of TXT is that it cannot retain filtering information such as status and gender, so it is only recommended to be used when it is determined that only the number is required.

How to set the encoding and delimiter of the exported file to avoid garbled characters?

Coding recommendations

Usage scenarios	Recommended encoding	Description
Open Excel directly (Windows)	UTF-8 with BOM	Avoid garbled Chinese/special characters
Excel manual import	UTF-8 without BOM	Import through “Data → From Text/CSV”, select UTF-8
Program import (Python/Node.js)	UTF-8 without BOM	Parsing is more stable and leading bytes are less likely to appear
Mac/Linux text editor	UTF-8 without BOM	Best compatibility

Operation Suggestion: If you need to open it directly with Excel after downloading, select “UTF-8 with BOM” if encoding selection is provided when exporting in the KK-DATA console. If you have downloaded a standard UTF-8 file, you can use Notepad to save it as UTF-8 with BOM.

separator

• CSV is comma delimited by default. If the number contains commas (rarely), it can be separated by tab.
• Confirm the delimiters supported by the target system before importing into CRM, otherwise columns will be misaligned. It is recommended to use commas consistently.

Detailed explanation of the US WA number export fields: What does it mean from “activation” to “gender”?

Interpretation of the activation status field (active/open)

• Active/open: The number has been registered with WhatsApp and can be detected through message delivery. It does not mean that it has been online recently.
• Valid: On the basis of activation, the platform determines that the number can send messages (not blocked or logged out). Available only for some detection types.
• Active (active_time): There is online behavior within the specified time window (such as 7 days). Suitable for marketing with high timeliness requirements.

Misunderstanding Correction: Activation ≠ Reachable. After activation, if the account is officially restricted or the user has uninstalled, it may still not be delivered. It is recommended to filter “active” at the same time to improve the reach rate.

Available range of gender field and avatar field

Fields such as gender, age, avatar, etc. are based on public information and AI model inference, and the accuracy cannot be guaranteed**. Applicable scenarios:

• Conduct coarse-grained group testing on male/female groups (such as Copy A vs Copy B)
• Combined with other filter results as an auxiliary dimension (such as “age about 30 years old” to help content planning)
• Not available: Loan review, identity verification and other scenarios that require high accuracy

How to correctly import the exported US WA number into the CRM or bulk sending system?

Standard processing procedure

1. Check the number format: Make sure it is E.164 (starting with +1), without spaces or brackets. Some systems require the ”+” or leading 0 to be removed.
2. Data deduplication: Use KK-DATA’s deduplication warehouse or local scripts to remove duplicate numbers to avoid repeated deductions and customer resentment.
3. Field mapping: Compare the field table of the target system and match the CSV column names. If the column names do not match, you can manually modify the header row.
4. Uniform format: Convert fields such as “Active/Active/Gender” into enumeration values ​​accepted by the target system (such as “true” → “1/QK”).
5. Small batch test: First import 500-1000 items to verify garbled characters, truncation, misalignment, etc.

Adaptation reminders for common CRMs

• HubSpot/Salesforce: Supports CSV import. You need to set the “Number” column to text format before uploading, otherwise it will automatically be converted to a number and the last four digits will be lost.
• Zoho: Note that the country code needs to be listed separately or combined with the number. The format can be set to “International Number Style” when importing.
• WATool/Group sending software: Most only accept TXT pure number list. Just extract the number column from CSV and save it as TXT.

Common errors and solutions in exporting US WA numbers

Summary of common errors

Error symptoms	Causes	Solutions
Chinese fields become garbled	Excel defaults to ANSI encoding, and CSV is UTF-8	Open with Notepad and save as UTF-8 with BOM; or specify UTF-8 through Excel “Import from text/CSV”
The number is displayed in scientific notation	The number is too long and Excel automatically converts it	Specify the column as text when importing; or add single quotes before the number (but batch modification is not recommended)
Column misalignment (name to number column)	Delimiter mismatch	Check whether the CSV delimiter is a comma, or the target system is expecting a tab character; use a text editor to view the delimiter
The number is truncated after import	The column format is “regular” and changes to 0 after 15 digits	Set the column to text, or wrap the CSV field with = (not recommended)
Active field date is missing	Time zone not converted	Adjust UTC time to local time zone (such as UTC-5/UTC-8)

FAQ

**Q: When exporting CSV, are the column names fixed? Can it be customized? ** Answer: KK-DATA’s console export column names are determined by the current detection type, and the fields of different detections (activated, active, gender) are slightly different. Currently, custom column names are not supported, but you can use Excel or a text editor to modify the column headers after downloading.

**Q: Is the encoding for exporting U.S. WA numbers UTF-8 or GBK? ** Answer: The default export is UTF-8 encoding (no BOM). If you use Excel for Windows to open it directly, garbled characters may appear. It is recommended to use Notepad to save it as UTF-8 with BOM, or use Excel’s “Import from text/CSV” function to select UTF-8 encoding.

**Q: The exported US WA numbers contain many extra fields. What should I do if I just want the number list? ** A: You can select “number only” mode (supported by some tasks) when exporting from the console, or delete other columns after downloading the full CSV. The TXT format only outputs numbers by default, which is suitable for quick import.

**Q: Does the exported US WA number include the area code? What is the format? ** Answer: The number defaults to E.164 format (for example, +12025551234), including the country code. If your system needs to remove ”+” or adjust the format, you can use Excel or script to process it uniformly before importing.

**Q: Why do some of the exported “active” fields have dates and some have “yes/no”? ** A: Depends on the type of test you choose. Liveness checks typically return “last online” (a specific date), while simple liveness checks return “true/false”. It is recommended to check the field descriptions in the task details in the console.
