Customer Lists

Lists are static collections of customers that serve as the foundation for targeting in campaigns and journeys.
What is a List?
A list is a named group of customers. Unlike segments (which are dynamic), lists are populated manually through CSV uploads. A single customer can belong to multiple lists.
Common uses for lists include:
- Newsletter subscribers
- Event attendees
- Product-specific audiences
- Geographic groupings
- Import batches (e.g., "January 2025 Upload")
Creating a List
- Navigate to Customers → Lists
- Click Create List
- Enter a name for the list
- Click Save

The list is created empty. You'll populate it by uploading a CSV file.
Viewing List Customers

Click on any list to view its customers. The customer table shows:
- Email address
- First name and last name
- City and country
- Score
- Custom fields
- Suppression status
You can paginate through the list and search for specific customers.
List Operations
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| View | Browse customers in the list |
| Edit | Rename the list |
| Delete | Remove the list (does not delete customers) |
| Upload | Add more customers via CSV |
Deleting a list removes the list metadata and the associations between the list and its customers. The customer records themselves are not deleted — they remain available in other lists and segments.
Lists in Campaigns
When creating a campaign, you add lists as targets with two modes:
- Include: Send to all customers in this list
- Exclude: Skip customers in this list (even if they appear in an included list/segment)
You can combine multiple lists and segments in a single campaign's targeting configuration.
Best Practices
- Use descriptive names: "Q1 2025 Webinar Attendees" is better than "List 3"
- Keep lists focused: Smaller, purpose-specific lists are easier to manage than one massive list
- Combine with segments: Use lists for static imports, segments for dynamic filtering
- Clean regularly: Remove outdated lists to keep your workspace organized
