In ARTERNAL, there are two types of contact lists you can create: Static Lists and Live Lists. Follow the steps below to create either type, depending on your needs.

Creating a Static List

A Static List is a manual list of contacts that doesn't update automatically. Here's how to create one:

  1. Navigate to Contacts:
    In the left navigation bar, select Contacts, then click Create Static List at the bottom-left corner.

  2. Name Your List:
    Enter a name for your list, choose whether it should be public or private, and click SAVE. You can now start adding contacts to the list.

Alternatively, you can create a new static list while adding contacts:

  1. Select Contacts:
    Choose the contacts you want to add, then click the Add to List button in the selection cart.

  2. Create a New Static List:
    When prompted, select Add Contacts to New Static List.

  3. Name Your List:
    Enter a name for your list, set permissions, and click SAVE.


Creating a Live List

A Live List automatically updates based on filters you set. For example, if you want to create a list of contacts tagged "collector" located in New York, a Live List will do this automatically.

  1. Open the Filter Dropdown:
    In the Contacts section, open the filter dropdown.

  2. Choose Filters:
    Select the filters that match the criteria you want, then click Save as Live List.

  3. Name Your List:
    Enter a name for your list, set permissions, and click SAVE.

Once created, the list will automatically update whenever new contacts meet the filter criteria, such as a newly added contact tagged "collector" in New York.
