Make it easier to filter contacts by email activity, sender, and date range

[AakashKodale]

🧩 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:

1. I have to go to the Marketing Emails section.

2. Filter all emails by the “From” address.

3. Then filter by date.

4. Then copy the names of each email manually.

5. 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!
