Lists

Group users together for targeted messaging with dynamic and static lists

1 min read

Lists allow you to group sets of users together to target them for messages. There are two different kinds of lists:

  • Dynamic: These lists generate themselves based on a set of criteria/rules that are set. After the initial list of users is generated, any users who fall into the criteria moving forward will find themselves added to the list.
  • Static: These are lists that are fixed and do not change on their own. The subset of users within them comes from an uploaded CSV document.

Static Lists#

You can create lists that contain fixed data that can be uploaded via CSV. When importing data an external_id column is required containing the identifier for your user. Additional there are some reserved fields which enhance other functionality in the process. Anything that is not a reserved or required field will get uploaded as custom data.

Required Fields:#

  • external_id: The unique identifier for that user

Reserved Fields:#

  • first_name: The first name of the user
  • last_name: The last name of the user
  • email: The users email
  • phone: The users phone number with country code
  • timezone: The users timezone provided in IANA format (America/Chicago)
  • locale: The language
  • created_at: When a user was created to override internal time setting. Must be in ISO 8601 format
