Cleaning up bounce list

Hi all,

I’m currently looking for a workaround to be able to delete contacts from a bounce list. So I created a workflow adding contacts who bounce to a list, now I’d like to set up an automation that removes contacts from that list once their email has been changed and they no longer bounce.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Best regards,

Nils

Hi @NTemmerman,

This workflow would do the trick:

I’m not sure I would recommend such a process however. You definitely want to make sure to either exclude important contact groups (customers, opportunities, employees) and you might want to build a process where a workflow notifies you about a bounce, you then review whether the contact should be deleted or not.

Best regards

I would not want to delete them but remove them from the created segment/list with hard bounces.

@NTemmerman my bad, I misread.

  • Enrollment based on ‘When filter criteria is met’ → Segment membership in your bounced list + Email hard bounce reason is unknown
  • Action: “Remove from static list”

It would however be a lot easier if you simply built an active segment that filters for “Email hard bounce reason is known”. Last I checked, changing the email address reset the value in “Email hard bounce reason” which means the contact would automatically leave the list.

Makes sense, thanks for the tip!
