How To Add Contacts To Contact Lists

0:01

hello Vipers for this what's the flow

0:04

we're going to talk about how to add

0:06

contacts to your contact lists now why

0:10

would you want to do this well contact

0:12

lists are primarily used for sending

0:14

mass emails and mass texts to groups of

0:17

your contacts so if you're looking to

0:21

send out that kind of communication and

0:23

you don't already have a contact list

0:25

put together of those people who you

0:27

want to communicate with well then

0:29

continue watching this video we'll talk

0:32

about a few different ways you can go

0:33

about doing this and uh some of them are

0:36

very quick and easy some of them are a

0:37

little bit more advanced but uh by the

0:40

end you'll know what to do so first of

0:42

all you can just simply add all of your

0:46

contacts to a list or you can select a

0:48

few this is a more manual task but it is

0:51

simpler um and so first of all looking

0:54

here at contact lists I have made this

0:57

contact list for this example

1:00

and if you need a refresher to create a

1:02

list you can just go right here to

1:04

create and then create empty list would

1:07

be how you make a new one which will you

1:10

will then fill

1:12

up so we got this list right here I'm

1:14

going to go back to my

1:17

contacts and I'm just going to select a

1:21

few and add them to an existing list and

1:27

I did that by clicking up here to find

1:29

the options to interact with those ones

1:31

that I have selected add to existing

1:34

list in here I'll choose my list I can

1:37

search for it there it is example list

1:41

1026 and hit

1:44

okay I refresh head back to my contact

1:49

list and here we

1:53

go

1:55

now let's uh let's go back to my

1:58

contacts and if I want want to add all

2:00

of my contacts I can just click on this

2:03

right

2:04

here select

2:07

all and add to existing

2:13

list so those are a couple of either

2:16

just you know simply adding everybody or

2:19

doing it a little bit more

2:20

manually but let's say you have another

2:23

existing list but you want to add them

2:25

so in other words maybe there's a

2:28

communicate with everybody list that you

2:29

working with or some sort of newsletter

2:32

list and you've got a subset that you're

2:33

looking to add like it also might be a

2:36

sign up form I'll be showing you how to

2:37

do that in a second so I want to go

2:40

first of all to my contact

2:43

lists and let's just say that I've got

2:47

this list right here and I want to add

2:49

these people to my main one well I can

2:51

go into this list and very similar is a

2:54

very similar process to before where I'm

2:57

now in this list and I can select all

3:00

click on this and hit add to existing

3:03

list now this is just going to add them

3:05

it's going to be like a single time um

3:08

so it's something you'd have to stay on

3:09

top of but this is how you can go about

3:13

doing

3:15

that Additionally you could go to your

3:19

uh signup

3:21

forms

3:23

and click in go to your

3:28

signups

3:33

slow this

3:38

load I can select them and add signups

3:42

to an existing contact

3:49

list also while over here I'll just show

3:51

you quickly if you want that to be an

3:53

ongoing thing where everybody who fills

3:55

out this form gets added to your list

3:58

you can do that from the admin page page

4:00

right

4:00

here add signups to other contact

4:06

lists and if we save that setting right

4:09

there everybody who fills out this form

4:12

will also be added to that contact

4:15

list now another thing you can do is

4:17

let's say you have a a

4:19

CSV in other words like an export from

4:22

somewhere else and you want to on mass

4:26

add them to an existing contact list

4:30

I'm not going to go through the whole

4:31

process because it's basically the same

4:32

as importing but I'll just get you

4:34

started here and we'll uh

4:37

include in uh like on the page a link to

4:41

how to import

4:42

contacts so from there you want to go

4:45

into your contact

4:47

list hit add

4:50

contacts and you'll go through the

4:53

import contacts right here click on that

4:56

drag and drop your CSV here and you can

4:58

continue through that that process also

5:01

note that while you're here you've got

5:03

search contacts and create contacts so

5:06

you can search for contacts right here

5:08

and add

5:11

them looks like they're already on the

5:13

list and you can also create a brand new

5:16

contact and after you're done creating

5:19

that contact it will be added to the

5:23

list lastly uh removing contacts is an

5:26

important process of managing your list

5:28

let's say you want to take somebody off

5:30

of the list well it's very similar just

5:33

you can select your contacts go right

5:36

here remove from contact list and they

5:40

will no longer be a part of your

5:42

list so I hope that you find this

5:45

helpful and of course always feel free

5:47

to reach out if you have any questions
