Contact lists can be used to categorise your contacts, and also make it easier to send bulk messages
To manage your contact lists go to Contacts > Lists:
If you have existing contact lists, you will see a table that contains the following columns:
- Name
- Added Date - the date the list was added
- Contacts - total number of contacts in the list
- List Email - this is an alias used when sending SMS messages via email (see the Email to SMS article for more info)
- Shared With - if the list is a shared list the field will be populated with the sub-account names
To create a new contact list, click on New List:
In the resulting modal, give your list a name and an alias (optional) and click Save. The alias is used for the Email to SMS address:
Editing a contact list
To edit a contact list, simply click on the three dots in the relevant row in the contact list screen and click on Edit:
From this menu, you can also send a message to the contact list, share it with sub-accounts, or delete the contact list.
