New lists are reviewed before they can be used to send campaigns

When you import a list, the Sendlane Compliance team reviews it to ensure that your list is safe to send to.

This review process typically takes up to 24 business hours and is conducted from 9AM to 5PM PST, Monday through Friday. Your list will be reviewed in the order it was received.

During this process, you may see the following statuses next to your import:

Processing - The List is being processed and is in queue to be reviewed by the Compliance team Active - The List has been processed, reviewed by our Compliance team, and is now being activated in your account Completed - The List is finished activating and is now ready to send to!

Edit list details

To edit a List's details, click the arrow in the View column next to the desired List:

Use the top container of the View List sidebar to

1. Edit a List's name

2. Import Contacts to a List

3. Export Contacts from a List to .CSV or .TXT

4. Add Contacts from a List to a Facebook Custom Audience

5. Start List Hygiene

6. Manually add a single Contact to a List

7. Delete a List (deleting a List permanently deletes all associated data such as segments, subscriptions, activity, and all Contacts who are not associated with other Lists)
