Add/merge an existing list into another list

Article author

You can merge lists into other lists in WordFly with the Add from existing list option. 

  • This option will merge subscribers who are currently in the selected list into the destination list. 
  • Before you merge, check if there are any subscribers with import issues in the selected list that you want to include in the destination list. If so, you’ll want to override them before combining.
  • If you’re looking to take two existing lists and combine them into a new third list without changing the two existing lists, you can do that, too. It requires a little trick: an empty list. See steps below.

Tip: Be extra careful when using your WordFly signup list in merges. If you want to combine your signup list with a CRM imported list, the key thing is to start with your CRM list import.

 

Add an existing list to a list that you’ve already imported

This can be done inside and outside a campaign. Outside of a campaign, go to Subscribers > Email Lists then continue with these instructions.

 

  1. Go to the Subscribers step of your In Progress campaign

    Assign a list to your email campaign before proceeding to the next step.


     

  2. In the More List Actions menu, select Add More Subscribers


     

  3. Select the Add from Existing List option
     

  4. Select the list you would like to merge into the list from step 1.

 

Subscribers from the selected list will be merged into the destination list. 

Once merged, this step cannot be undone.

 

 

Combine two lists into a third list without changing the two existing lists

This can be done inside and outside a campaign. Inside a campaign, select the Subscriber step and then continue with these instructions. Outside of a campaign, select Create a new list and then continue with these instructions.

 

  1. Select the Add Manually option

     
  2. Click Start Importing without any addresses added in the open field

     
  3. In the More List Actions menu, select Add More Subscribers

     
  4. Select the Add from Existing List option
     
  5. Select the first list you would like to add
     
  6. Your first list will be merged into the list you just created
     

  7. Repeat steps 3-5 to add another list. Keep doing this to continue adding more lists

     

Did you merge subscribers by mistake?

Sometimes lists are merged into lists by mistake. You can remove any subscribers you added by using WordFly’s remove subscribers option.
