  • Contact Details
    Filter by fields such as first name, last name, email, phone number, birthday, or when the contact was created.
  • Address
    Search contacts based on location information such as city, state, postal code, or country.
  • Tags
    View contacts that contain specific tags used to organize your database.
  • Status
    Filter contacts by subscription status, such as Subscribed or Unsubscribed.
  • Move Score
    Sort contacts based on their Move Score ranking.
  • Custom Fields
    Filter using any custom data fields you’ve created in your database.
  • Recent Engagements
    Find contacts who have recently opened emails, clicked links, or unsubscribed.

Step 4: Apply Your Filters

Once you choose a filter category, select the criteria you want and click Apply Filter.

The contact list will instantly update to show only contacts that match your selected filters.

You’ll also see the active filters listed at the top of the page so you can easily track what’s currently applied.

Step 5: Adjust or Clear Filters

If you want to change your results, you can:

  • Remove a specific filter by clicking the X next to it
  • Click Clear Filter to remove all active filters and return to your full contact list

This makes it easy to experiment with different filter combinations until you find exactly the contacts you need.

Why Filters Are Useful

If you want to change your results, you can:

  • Contacts in a certain city
  • Subscribers with a specific tag
  • Leads who recently engaged with your emails
  • Contacts within a certain audience group

Filtering makes it easier to organize your database and target the right people when preparing messages or campaigns.
