Merging lists allows you to combine multiple lists into a single list without losing important subscriber data. This is helpful if you’ve created subsets of lists and want to consolidate them for easier management.

Why Merge Lists?

  • Clean up your lists area by reducing duplicates or unnecessary subsets.

  • Combine lists based on shared subscriber qualities.

  • Preserve important subscriber information, including:

    • Unsubscribe status

    • Engagement data (opens, clicks, complaints)

Steps to Merge Lists

Go to Lists

  • From the top menu, click Contacts> View Lists.

Select List Actions

  • Choose the List Actions menu.

  • Click Merge Lists.

Choose Lists to Merge

  • Select two or more lists you want to combine.

  • Click the Merge button.

Name Your New List

  • Enter a name for the new merged list.

Note: The original lists will not be deleted. A new list will be created containing all data from the selected lists.

Start the Merge

  • Click Start to begin the merging process.

  • You’ll return to the Lists area and may see an Updating status while the merge is in progress.

  • Use the Refresh button next to List Actions to check the status.

View the Results

  • Once complete, the merged list will appear in your Lists area with all subscriber data intact.

  • You can then choose to clean up older lists if desired.

Important Notes

  • Engagement and unsubscribe history are preserved during merging.

  • The process does not delete your original lists.

  • Merging time depends on the number of lists and total subscribers.

That’s it! Your lists are now merged into one, keeping your data organized and accurate.
