Organize contacts into lists

The easiest way to organize contacts is by grouping them into lists or segments. You can also pin a list or segment for quick access.

It is strictly prohibited to use contact lists that have been purchased or obtained from third parties.

Textmagic offers these default lists:

• Unsubscribed – 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 -> Click on the New list.
   
2. Enter a list name.
3. Make the list private or share it with your sub-accounts (legacy sub-accouts flow). This option can be changed at any time.
   
4. Click Save.
5. 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.
