# 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 %}
