Add Contacts from One List to Another List

Sales workflows change fast.

A contact that started in one list often needs to belong to multiple lists as your outreach evolves—campaigns overlap, priorities shift, and prospects fit more than one category.

With this update, you can now add contacts from one list into another list without removing them from the original list.

In simple terms:

  • A contact can belong to any number of lists

  • Lists work as overlapping groups, not restrictions

This makes it much easier to reuse contacts across campaigns without duplication or re-imports.


How list-to-list adding works

Think of lists as ways to group the same contacts for different purposes.

For example:

  • List A: US SaaS Prospects

  • List B: Q1 Outreach

  • List C: Follow-ups Needed

A single contact can live in all three lists at the same time.

Adding a contact to a new list:

  • Does not remove them from the original list

  • Does not duplicate the contact

  • Does not affect their sequences, tags, or history


When you’ll use this most

This feature is especially useful when you want to:

  • Reuse an existing list for a new campaign

  • Add high-intent contacts into a priority list

  • Organize contacts by multiple dimensions (region + campaign + intent)

  • Avoid re-uploading or re-discovering the same contacts


How to add contacts from one list to another list

  1. Go to Contacts

  2. Open the List dropdown (top-left)

  3. Select the source list
    (for example: List A)

  4. Select the contacts you want to add

    • Choose specific contacts, or

    • Select all contacts in the list

  5. Click Add to List

  6. Choose an existing destination list
    (for example: List B)
    — or create a new list if needed

  7. Confirm the action

That’s it. The selected contacts are now part of both lists.


What does not change

To avoid confusion, here’s what stays exactly the same:

  • Contacts remain in the original list

  • No contact data is duplicated

  • Tags remain unchanged

  • Sequence enrollment stays as-is

  • Contact ownership remains the same

Lists are purely for organization and grouping.


Important things to know

  • A contact can belong to multiple lists simultaneously

  • Removing a contact from one list does not remove them from other lists

  • Deleting a list does not delete the contacts inside it

  • The default ā€œAllā€ list always contains every contact
