The Problem:
Right now, I need to regularly create a list of contacts who opened or clicked emails sent from a specific email address (like test@test.com) within a certain date range (for example, June 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024).
This sounds simple, but in HubSpot, the process is very manual and time-consuming:
- I have to go to the Marketing Emails section.
- Filter all emails by the “From” address.
- Then filter by date.
- Then copy the names of each email manually.
- Then use those names one by one in a list to filter contacts who opened them.
This has to be repeated every time I want to create a list — whether for inclusion or exclusion. And sometimes there are 10–20+ emails to include. It becomes extremely frustrating, especially when this is a daily task.
Why It’s a Pain:
- Takes a lot of manual effort
- Easy to make mistakes or miss an email
- Hard to scale when managing multiple senders or brands
- Repeating the same steps for both inclusion and exclusion makes it worse
The Idea:
Please give us an easier way to build lists based on:
- Emails sent from a specific email address
- Within a specific date range
- And then filter contacts who opened or clicked those emails
Even better — allow us to exclude those contacts too (for retargeting).
Why This Helps:
- Saves time for marketing and CRM teams
- Reduces errors and missed contacts
- Makes workflows and segmentation smoother
- Helps people who work with multiple sender addresses, brands, or weekly campaigns
Final Note:
This feels like a basic need for anyone doing high-volume email marketing. I’ve already raised this with support and now posting it here. I hope the product team can consider it for future updates — it will really make our lives easier.
Thank you!
