Before you start: Contacts already in a hubsell list.

Contacts with no email address are skipped when a flow sends, and contacts with no LinkedIn URL get stuck at a connection request step. You can filter for either case and move those contacts into a list of their own.

Filter on one field at a time. Isolating missing emails and missing LinkedIn URLs separately means each set lands in its own list, ready for the channel it can still be reached on.

Create the destination list

Click the Lists icon in the left sidebar.

Opening Lists
Click Create New List.

Creating a list
Type a name for the list and click Submit. A name that says what is in it, such as "without email", saves guessing later.

Naming the list

Filter for the missing field

Click the Contacts icon in the left sidebar.

Opening Contacts
Remove every existing filter from the filter bar, so nothing is excluded before you start.

Clearing the filter bar
Click Lists in the filter panel.

Opening the list filter
Type the name of the list you want to search in.

Choosing where to search
Select the list.

Selecting the list
Under Contact data, expand Contact email or Contact LinkedIn URL, depending on which contacts you want to isolate.

Choosing the field
Select Is unknown. This leaves only the contacts where that field is empty.

Filtering to empty values
Click Apply changes.

Applying the filter

Move them into the new list

Click the checkbox in the table header to select all contacts.

Selecting the contacts
Choose whether to move only the contacts on this page or every contact matching the filters, then click Apply.

Choosing the scope
Click Change list in the toolbar above the contact table.

Opening the move dialog
Select the list you created.

Choosing the destination
Click Move to list.

Completing the move
Click the Lists icon and open your new list to confirm the contacts arrived.

Confirming the move

The gaps are isolated. Your new list holds only the contacts missing that field, so you can enrich them, route them to another channel, or leave them out of your next flow deliberately rather than by accident.

Common questions

Why isolate contacts with no email address?

Contacts with no email address are skipped when a flow sends. Moving them into their own list means you can see them, and route them into a channel they can actually be reached on.

Can I filter for missing email and missing LinkedIn URL at the same time?

Do one field at a time, so each set goes into its own list.
