We are looking to test an email to a sample of our total contacts list and are unable to filter down. We have lots of contacts but only want to send an email to a randomized 1,000 of them. To create lists in Hubspot, we have to use properties to filter by. We can filter by certain email addresses, create dates, sources, etc. but there is no way to create a list of an exact number for testing.

Similar request: to be able to sample contacts in the “Lists” through a build-in functionality.

I think this would be awesome. We’re running a lot of tests, and it would be great to be able to just define the list size beforehand.
