Organize contacts into Lists

The easiest way to organize contacts is by grouping them into Lists. It is not possible to add a contact without the list selection.

You can set up lists and then send text messages to all the people in a list with just a few clicks. Textmagic offers these types of Lists:

• Private – a list you have created and have not shared with your team members.
• Shared by me – a list that you have created and shared with your team members. Your sub-accounts will be able to edit this list and add/remove contacts.
• Shared to me –  a list that a team member has created and shared with you.
• Unsubscribers – a list where contacts are moved automatically if they have unsubscribed from your communication. This list is shared between all your sub-accounts.
• Blocked – a list where you can add contacts to block all incoming and outgoing texts with the number.

Create a new list

1. Navigate to Contacts -> Lists.
2. Click on the New list button. 
   
3. Enter a list name.
4. Make the list private or share it with your sub-accounts. This option can be changed at any time.
   
5. Click Save.
6. You can import multiple contacts to your list or add them one-by-one. Learn how to Import contacts from a .CSV or Excel file or add contacts one-by-one.
