Link Active list with Marketing event

[CCNNZ]

Hi all, new to HS and I'm trying to link an existing Dynamic list of contacts that is auto-populated from a From to an existing Marketing event so we track who registered.

I don't want to manually upload contacts to the Marketing events.

Thanks for your help

Hello can I know what happen to above case? I also want to add the active list to my marketing event. How can I do?

Hi @CCNNZ,

ok, I understand what you mean now.

Unfortunately, I don't think the association works the way you are expecting/hoping. The lists that show up as associated lists are the ones that use this marketing event in their filters. You can't manually associate a list with an event. If you add a filter to your lists, that includes the event, it will show up in the association tab.

Best regards

Hi @Colin 

Thanks for coming back to me. So the next question, is how to create such list? Do I need to create a custom field in the contact record for each Marketing Event I create?

Hi Colin, 

I've created a Marketing Event to tract the event itself (date, owner, type, etc...). I would like to associate it with the dynamic list that is auto-populated with contacts registering for the event.

When I select "Go to lists", HS displays all the lists but I can't seem to be able to link a list with a marketing event.
Thanks

Hey @CCNNZ,
could you explain, what you mean by "Marketing Event" in this context?

If I understand correctly, you already have an active list with contacts submitting a specific form. What I don't understand is, what you mean by "linking" those contacts to a "Marketing Event".

Hey, did you ever get a solution? I'm trying to do this exact thing and having similar difficulties with the filters and linking! 

Thanks!

@ColinC see my response to your initial question (sorry forgot to add the @ in front of your name). 

Thanks again for your help on this.
