Exclude and filter recipients from your email campaigns

When creating your email campaign, you can choose your recipients from your existing lists and segments in the To step. However, you may need to:

  • Exclude (Don't send to) certain segments or lists that might contain recipients you don't want to send the campaign to. For example, this can be useful if some of your contacts are present in several lists and you don't want them to receive your newsletter.
  • Filter recipients of your campaign according to certain criteria, using the segmentation tool integrated into the To step. For example, you can decide to send your campaign only to recipients whose account manager is Abby or John.

    Don't send to Filter recipients

    Under Don't send to, select from the drop-down list the contact lists or segments you don't want to send your campaign to.
    The campaign will be sent to all selected contacts except those in the lists or segments selected in the Don't send to option.

    ❗️ Important
    If a contact in your recipient list is also in your exclusion list, they will not receive the campaign.
