Moving Contacts Between Lists

You can transfer one or more recipients from one mailing list to another directly inside the mailing list detail view. This is useful for segmenting contacts after a campaign, promoting warm leads to a new list, or reorganizing your lists over time.

How to move contacts​

  1. Open Mailing Lists in the sidebar and open the list that contains the contacts you want to move.
  2. Check the box next to each recipient you want to transfer. To select everyone on the current page, check the box in the column header row. Your selection is kept as you move between pages.
  3. Once at least one contact is selected, a toolbar appears above the recipients showing how many are selected. Open the Move to list… dropdown and choose the destination list.
  4. Click Move.

The selected recipients are removed from the current list and added to the destination list.

The same toolbar has Send to selected (opens Send Mail with just those recipients), Delete, and Clear to drop the selection.

Notes​

  • Moving is not copying. Contacts are removed from the source list when moved. If you need the contacts to remain in both lists, export the list first and re-upload them to the destination.
  • The destination list must already exist. Create it with Add Mailing List on the Mailing Lists page before moving contacts if needed.
  • If a contact already exists in the destination list, duplicate-prevention rules apply. See Duplicate Prevention.
