I am getting ready to import email subscribers on a new CC account for the first time. I see in the help documentation that on Step 3 I will designate lists and tags. However, I have an existing list with contacts who will belong on multiple lists and potentially have multiple tags. is there a way to designate lists, tags, and segments for that matter via a delimited field? What is the process for import when contacts may have any number of lists, tags, and segments they belong to (but aren't all the same)?

Hi @StevenR20. When a file of contacts is uploaded, you will select the list(s) the file they will belong to. 

 

If you have a master list but know that not all the contacts will belong to the same list, you can import the contact tags (for example Dogs, Cats, Birds). Once the file is uploaded, you can search by tag, select the group of contacts with the same tag (ex Cats) and create a new list from the tagged contacts
