Dynamic or Static Lists

Which list type best suits your campaign

Updated over a year ago

What is the difference between a Dynamic list and a Static list?

A dynamic list retains the exact filter criteria that were in place when the list was created. As contacts are added, updated, or removed in your database with attributes that match the filter criteria of the dynamic list, these prospects will automatically be added or removed from the list.

A static list consists of contacts that you have built once. which you will need to edit manually to make any further changes.
