Move contacts between lists
Reorganise your contacts by moving them from one list to another, without affecting their flows or tags.
- Applies to
- All plans
- Before you start
- Contacts in a hubsell list, and a destination list to move them to.
Lists are how you organise contacts for finding and filtering. Moving contacts between them is a tidying action: it changes where a contact lives, not what happens to it.
A contact sits in one list at a time. Moving it to another list removes it from the one it was in.

Common questions
Can a contact be in more than one list?
No. A contact sits in one list at a time, so moving it to another list removes it from the one it was in.
Does moving a contact affect its flow?
No. A list is only a directory for finding contacts. Moving one does not change the flow it is in or the outreach it receives.
What happens to a contact's tags when I move it?
Nothing. Tags are unaffected, and tag filters still find the contact wherever it sits.
