Hello,

I am trying to make an active list. Is it possible to do this using any of the following factors?

- Subscription
- Campain
- Who sent the email

Hi @BLandry9,

If by subscription you’re referring to [email subscription type](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/contacts/how-do-subscription-preferences-and-types-work), then yes:

 ![karstenkoehler_1-1665635135891.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/6/b/6b0253897dbcc3d7a66b005a67e6f4468c28ed94.png)

If by subscription you’re referring to a subscription to your services / products, then it depends on how you set this up. If this information is stored in a custom contact property or a custom object that is associated with the contact object, then you should see it also listed in the screenshot above.

Campaigns can not be referenced in lists, you would have to include touchpoints like:

- Form submissions (see first screenshot)
- contact property _Recent conversion_: the last form the contact submitted. This is formatted as the name of the page the form was submitted on, followed by a colon, then the name of the submitted form (i.e., _Name of page: Name of form_).
- Ads interactions
- Marketing Emails
- etc

Regarding ‘Who sent the email’, this is possible for sales emails, not marketing emails. To filter for contacts who were sent an email by a specific user, choose _Activity properties_ and filter for _Activity type_ ‘Email sent to contact’ and ‘Activity created by’ specifying the user.

Best regards!

Hello,

None of those are doing exactly what I want. The idea is to make an active suppression list. If anyone has received an email from this person, this subscription, or this campaign then they would be added to the list. It doesn’t need to be all of the filters, but that is what all the emails have in common.

Hi @BLandry9,

Can you please be a bit more specific? I’m not clear on whether you’re referring to marketing email or to sales emails.

It is not possible to filter contacts by marketing emails sent by a certain HubSpot user. It is possible to filter contacts by sales emails sent by a certain HubSpot user, as described above.

It is possible to filter contacts by whether they received a marketing email with a certain subscription type, as described above. Since sales emails do not have a subscription type, this is not possible with sales emails.

It is not possible to filter directly whether a contact has received any email from a specific campaign.

Best regards
