I am looking to find a way to create a filter that would let me add them back to the list if it has been more than “x” amount of time since receiving a particular email.

Hi @TopherDavison,

Do you have access to workflows?

If so, you would first create a custom date property and then a contact-based workflow. This workflow enrolls contacts that have received the email. The first and only step of that workflow is to set a date stamp. You can then use this date property in a list and filter for contacts where this date is more than x days ago:

Keep in mind that you shouldn’t enroll contacts who meet the criteria already. These would all get today’s date as a stamp then. This will only work from now onwards.

(If the email send dates are not static but different for contacts, I’m not aware of a solution that doesn’t involve workflows.)

Best regards!

Unfortunately I do not have access to workflows. Thank you for the input though!
