Finding Contacts from Multiple List Uploads

Hi!

We have multiple teams working in our instance that focus on different product lines that we sell.

One team has imported many lists (100+) in our database and I would like to exclude the imported records from our other email communications.

Is there any easy way to query all member of these uploaded lists, i.e. “member of list name contains [XXXXX]?” Or does anyone have any other recommendations on how we can query these contacts and segment them out from email messaging for our other product lines?

Hi @FormerMKTOUser,

Contacts will typically* have the value Original source drill-down 1 = IMPORT and Original source drill-down 2 = [import name]. See here: View and use record source properties

If you use “Latest source drill-down 1 has ever been…”, then you can filter for multiple imports.

Since this property is meant to track a traffic source, there are some edge cases where it doesn’t correctly capture that contact came from a (specific) import.

If you want to rule those out, you should start creating custom properties (e.g. “Contact created from import”) and add a column in your import file that fills this property with a value so that you can later filter for it.

Best regards!
