Hello,

We’re currently struggling with creating segmented lists that can automatically update based on user behavior, such as past purchases or engagement with specific content on our website. How can we set up dynamic lists in HubSpot that automatically adjust as customer data changes?

Hey @OMorgan2

To set up dynamic lists in HubSpot that automatically adjust based on user behavior such as past purchases or engagement with specific content on your website, you can create an active list in HubSpot. Active lists are dynamic and will automatically update as contacts meet the criteria you set.

To understand more about Active lists you can check this article [here](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/lists/create-active-or-static-lists#:~:text=Active%20lists%20automatically%20update%20their,no%20longer%20meet%20the%20criteria.)

Hi @OMorgan2,

The default for HubSpot lists is to behave the way you described. Active lists will constantly look around for contacts that might be meeting their filter criteria, as contacts are being updated over time.

If contacts meet the criteria, they’ll join this dynamic type of list. If a filter criterion is not met anymore, they’ll leave the list.

Best regards!
