I am wondering if there is away to filter contacts to see people who have recieved a sales email from a specific person within the last week. Right now, I see an option to sort by sales emails opened but I am not able to filter it to see contacts by the account manager who sent sales email, or the option to only see a specific date. Is this a feature that HubSpot has currently, or an idea for the future?

Hi @alexagatiss,

One workaround is to create a list that pulls this information into an active list and then use the filter option to filter based on List Membership. The active list filtering is much more robust!

Hi @alexagatiss,

You can set these filters in a contact-based list (_Menu_ \> _Contact_ \> _Lists_) as shown below. To do so, in your new list under _Add filter_ find _Activity properties_.

Once you have this list, you can filter your contact index page (_Menu_ \> _Contacts_ \> _Contacts_) by this list. It feels a bit redundant but since index pages don’t have the full filtering capabilities as list, this is the only way.

On your contact index page, click _Advances filters_ \> _List membership_ and save.

Best regards!
