# Contact Lists

Intellectra enables you to create contact lists by manually adding users or importing existing lists. These lists serve as valuable resources for triggering email sequences or broadcasting messages to your audience. 

Intellectra also automatically creates contact lists for each offer you create. For instance, if you create a digital download named "The Guide," a list called "Purchased The Guide" and "Abandoned The Guide's Checkout" will be auto-generated. Auto-generated lists will automatically have users added once a trigger occurs, such as making a purchase or abandoning the checkout, while lists created manually will not.

## 👥 Creating a Contacts List:

1. Navigate to the **Emails Campaigns** page on the left sidebar.
2. Select **Contact Lists**.
3. Click on **New List**
4. Provide a name for your list.
5. Click on **Add Contact**
6. Manually input your contact details or import a list.

***

### Importing a List:

To import a contacts list, make sure your CSV file includes the following columns in the order specified below:

**Column 1:** Email

**Column 2:** First Name

**Column 3:** Last Name

**Column 4:** Phone Number (optional)

**Column 5:** Address (optional)

{% hint style="info" %}
If your list contains multiple columns for an address (e.g., separate columns for street name and state), consolidate them into a single address column (Column 5).
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.intellectra.io/manual/emails/contact-lists.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
