Merge multiple contact lists into a single list

Article: 000032812
Updated: May 5, 2025

Select multiple contact lists and combine them into a single list to better organize your contacts

When you merge multiple contact lists together, you can choose to move all the contacts from your selected lists into a new or existing list. If you want to create your new list ahead of time, that's fine too! Once you merge contact lists together, it can't be undone.

  1. In the menu on the left-hand side of the page, click Contacts.
  2. Click the Lists option.

    Contacts menu expanded and Lists option selected, and Contacts dashboard with Lists tab selected 
  3. Select the lists you want to merge together.
  4. Click Actions > Merge.

  5. From the drop-down menu, select the list you want to merge all your selected lists into. If you need to create a new list, select "Create a new list" and give your new list a unique name.
  6. Click Merge.

The lists are merged together onto a single list, and the original lists are left as-is — you can rename or delete them later. Sometimes a single contact can be part of multiple lists. If one contact is on multiple lists being merged together, the contact only appears once in your resulting list. If the same contact is on other lists that weren't merged, they remain on those lists. You can view their contact record to see all the lists they belong to.
