Search for contacts

In this article, we will explain how to search for contacts within your whole contact list, a specific list, or a segment. You'll also learn how to perform actions on your contacts, such as blocklisting them or exporting them as a CSV file.

To access the contact listing page, go to Contacts.

  1. To select multiple individual contacts, select the checkboxes next to the contacts.
  2. To select the contacts on your current page, select the checkbox at the top left of the table.
  3. To select all the contacts on your current list or database, select the checkbox at the top left of the table and click Select all contacts.

Manually search contacts

You can quickly search for a contact by typing their name, email address, phone or WhatsApp number in the search bar. For example, a quick search to find relevant contacts by typing an email address (or part of it) would give results similar to this:

Search contacts using a segment

For a more advanced search, create a segment using a segment template, or click Add Filter and use AND/OR to enter dependent or independent conditions, or combine the two. You can save your segment and use it to send email campaigns and manage your contacts. To learn more about creating and using segments, check our dedicated section.

Perform actions on your contacts

Once your search is complete, you can perform an action on the whole list of contacts or on specific contacts only:

  • Add the contacts to an existing or new list,
  • Blocklist the contacts, 
  • Edit the details of the contacts,
  • Assign the contacts to a specific owner,
  • Copy the SMS attribute of the contacts into their WhatsApp attribute (if you enabled WhatsApp campaigns), 
  • Export the contacts as a CSV file, 
  • Delete the contacts.
