Add the Ability to Upload Suppression Lists
I would like to see the ability to upload suppression lists that can be used as part of an email send. Here's a use case: I send out an email inviting users to a live demo. I want to send out another email to those who haven't signed up for the live demo 1-2 weeks later to help increase registrations. I don't want to send to those who have already registered for the event. Instead, I want the ability to add those who registered to a suppression list so they will not receive email #2, and so I don't have to manually remove those who registered from the initial list.Ā
This is actually a standard feature that is already available in many email platforms. It would be nice if Constant Contact included this feature to help streamline the list management process.

HelloĀ @CampusGuardĀ ,

It sounds like this could be accomplished by using either existing segmentation functionalities, or by using the remove from list functionality. For the italicized bits, you'd insert whatever name is applicable / preferred. It'd go like this:
- You have your Main List you send the event invite to.
- You upload the list of contacts that registered for the event as a separate list called Event Sign-Up Suppression.
- You make a copy of Main List by selecting all the contacts in Main List > Actions > Add to List > Create a new list > and name it Event Follow-Up.
- You then go into your Event Sign-Up Suppression, select-all the contacts > Actions > Remove from List > select the Event Follow-Up list.
Or
- You have your Main List you send the event invite to.
- You upload the list of contacts that registered for the event as a separate list called Event Sign-Up Suppression.
- You create a segment with criteria:
- List Membership > On List > Main List
- +AND
- List Membership > Not on List > Event Sign-Up Suppression.
- You can then either email this segment directly, or create a list from the segment calledĀ Event Follow-Up and email that instead.
