Your fan list is the one asset in music promotion that keeps working after the platform you built it on stops. Whether you are switching tools, backing things up, or just want the emails somewhere you control, here is how to get them out of Hypeddit — and what to do with the file once you have it.
This is worth doing even if you have no intention of leaving Hypeddit. A list that exists in exactly one account is one password reset away from being a problem. Export it once a quarter and keep the file somewhere you back up.
Where the emails live
Hypeddit collects email addresses per gate. On your dashboard, each gate and smart link shows how many emails it captured in its performance statistics — that number is itself a link. Clicking it gives you the choice between downloading just that gate's emails or your entire list across every gate.
For a backup or a migration you almost always want all of them, not one gate's worth. Per-gate exports are more useful when you want to mail the people who downloaded one specific track.
Exporting the list
- Log in to your Hypeddit dashboard.
- Find the gate list with your campaigns and their performance stats.
- Click the number in the email column for any gate — this is the link that opens the download choice.
- Choose the option to download all your email addresses rather than only that gate's.
- Save the CSV somewhere you actually back up.
Hypeddit also supports automated syncing to email marketing tools through Zapier, IFTTT and Integromat. If you are staying on Hypeddit and want your list continuously mirrored into Mailchimp or similar, that route is better than a manual export, because it does not depend on you remembering.
Interfaces move. If the steps above do not match what you are looking at, the concept still holds: find the email count for a gate, click through it, and choose the export-everything option. Hypeddit's own help centre documents the current flow.
Check what you actually got
Open the CSV before you trust it. Two things are worth confirming: that the row count roughly matches the total your dashboard reports, and that there is a date or timestamp column. The second one matters more than people expect.
Under GDPR you need to be able to show not just that someone gave you their address, but that they consented and when. If your export has no timestamp, you have a list of addresses without the evidence behind them. That is usable for a personal backup and shaky as the basis for a mailing campaign.
Using the list without burning it
People gave you an address to get a track. That is the deal they agreed to, and it does not automatically extend to a weekly newsletter. The fastest way to destroy a hard-won list is to import it into a mail tool and immediately blast it.
A reasonable first send: tell them who you are, remind them which track they downloaded, say what you will send and how often, and make unsubscribing obvious. You will lose some addresses. The ones that stay are worth considerably more than the ones you lost.
Import into whichever tool you already use — Mailchimp, Brevo, Buttondown, anything. The tool matters much less than having the list under your own control.
If you are moving to PromoFuse
Two things to know. First, your existing Hypeddit fans do not transfer automatically — that CSV is how you keep them, so download it before closing anything. Second, your gates themselves can transfer: the PromoFuse importer reads your existing Hypeddit gates and recreates them as drafts, so you are not rebuilding them by hand.
From that point on, every new fan is captured in PromoFuse, where CSV export is on every plan including the free one, and consent is stored with a timestamp so the list stays legally usable. The migration guide walks through the whole move.
