If you love Contact Lists, you’re going to really love Custom Directories.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Contact Lists are great for distributing email or SMS, filling in Mail Merge fields in invitations, and pre-populating known data in survey fields.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

If your list is likely to change, maybe you’ve already started using Dynamic Contact Lists or SFTP to inform Automated Distribution and Recurring Delivery. Cool, right?<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

In our 32.0 release<\/a>, we’re beginning the roll-out of a completely reimagined system of managing Contacts and Activities. A sneak peek?<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. Create one or more Custom Directories to store and manage details like employees’ departments and managers or customers’ purchased products and preferred locations.<\/li>\n
  2. Publish through Directories using complete lists or filtered sub-lists and pull relevant contact details into reports without having to add those fields within Design.<\/li>\n
  3. Collect feedback as a follow-up to Activities like customer purchases or support interactions, then match up responses to Contacts in your Directories to learn more about how experiences vary across your organization.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
