Create and Manage Lists in Seamless

Lists help you organize, save, and manage contacts and companies in Seamless. This article explains how to create Lists, set a default List, manage existing Lists, and move contacts into Lists across different areas of the platform.

Brand refresh in progress

We recently launched a new brand, so some images and videos may differ from what you see in-product. All workflows and guidance remain accurate while we update visuals.

Gettings Started

Lists are one of the best ways to stay organized in Seamless. They help you group, manage, and revisit the contacts and companies you save while prospecting, making it easier to keep your research structured and actionable.

Why Lists Matter

Using lists helps you:

  • Organize contacts and companies by campaign, territory, account set, or workflow
  • Keep track of the data you’ve already researched
  • Make it easier to return to a saved group of records later
  • Control where newly researched contacts are automatically saved

How to Create a List

Users can create a list directly from the Search page.

  1. Go to the Search page
  2. Click the Add to List box
    • If you already have a default list set, you may see that list name displayed instead
Add to List box in Search
Set a default list to add contacts and/or companies to a list during search.
  1. In the window that opens, select the option to create a new list
  2. Enter a name for your list
    • We recommend using a name that will help you quickly remember what type of data is being saved there
  3. Choose whether you want to set the new list as your default list
  4. Click + Create List
Create a New Default List
Set a list as default to have contacts and/or companies to be added to upon research.

Once created, your new list will appear in the list window.

How to Know a List Is Set as Default

If a list is set as your default:

  • You will see a black checkmark next to the list
  • You will also see a Default tag
Select list to mark as default
Select a list to mark it as default.

When a default list is set, any time you pull contact information using Seamless, the AI will automatically save that data to the default list.

How to Change Your Default List

You can return to the same list window at any time to:

  • Create a new list
  • Switch your default list to another existing list
  • Review lists you’ve already created

To set a different default list, open the list window and select the list you want to use as the new default.

List Management Options

Users can click the 3 dots next to a list to access additional actions:

Edit List - Change the name of the list.

View List - Open the My Contacts page with a filter already applied for that specific list.

Delete List - Remove the list from the Lists section. 

  • Important: Deleting a list does not delete the contacts that were saved in that list.

Download List - Start the process of downloading the contacts included in that list.

Edit List
Edit or manage the list with the 3 dots on the right side.

Where You Can Access Lists

The Lists feature is available in multiple areas of Seamless:

  • Search
  • My Contacts
  • My Companies
  • Chrome Extension

Access Lists in My Contacts and My Companies

In My Contacts and My Companies, users can access lists by clicking Manage List in the top right corner of the page.

If a default list is already set, that list name may appear there instead.

From this menu, users can:

  • Create new lists
  • Change the default list
  • Edit a list
  • View a list
  • Delete a list
  • Download a list
List View on My Contacts
Check the currently viewed list on the My Contacts page through the icon in the top right corner.

Access Lists in the Chrome Extension

In the Chrome Extension, users can manage lists by clicking the Manage Lists button near the bottom of the extension.

From there, users can perform the same actions available in the platform, including:

  • Creating lists
  • Setting a default list
  • Editing lists
  • Viewing lists
  • Deleting lists
  • Downloading lists

When finished, users can click the Home icon in the top left of the extension to return to the main prospecting view.

Best Practices for Naming Lists

To make lists easier to manage over time, we recommend naming them based on the use case or data set, such as:

  • SMB Prospects Q2
  • Healthcare Leads
  • Texas Accounts
  • Webinar Follow Up
  • Target Accounts

Using clear, memorable names makes it easier to find the right list later and keep your workflow organized.

How to Move Contacts from One List to Another

If you want to reorganize contacts, Seamless gives you a few different ways to move them into a new list or add them to another existing list.

Move one contact at a time

If you only need to update a single contact:

  1. Go to My Contacts
  2. Find the contact you want to move
  3. In the Lists column, click Add to List
    • If the contact is already on a list, you’ll see that list name instead
  4. A dropdown will appear showing your available lists
  5. Select the list you want that contact added to and remove the list the contact was in previously

This is the quickest option when you only need to move or update one contact at a time.

Move selected contacts into a different list

If you want to move several contacts at once:

  1. Go to My Contacts
  2. Check the box next to each contact you want to update
  3. Click the Lists icon at the top of the page
  4. Select + Add Selected to Lists
Move contacts to different lists
Select and move contacts between different lists on the My Contacts page.
  1. In the list window:
    • Remove the -/+ next to the list the contacts are currently in, if needed
    • If the contacts are not currently in a list, simply choose the new list you want
  2. Click the box next to the list you want to use
    • A black checkmark will appear next to the selected list
  3. Click Save. Your selected contacts will then be added to that list.
Select new list
Select the new list to move the selected contact(s) to.

Move contacts in bulk using filters

If you want to update a larger group of contacts at once, using filters is often the fastest option.

  1. Go to My Contacts
  2. Apply the filters you want
    • Common examples include List, Title, and Date Researched
  3. After your filtered results load, click the Lists icon
  4. Select Add Filtered to List
Move filtered contacts to a list
Transfer a filtered view of contacts to a new list through the List icon on the My Contacts page.
  1. In the list window:
    • Remove the -/+ next to the list the contacts are currently in, if needed
    • If the contacts are not currently in a list, simply choose the list you want to add them to
  2. Click the box next to the list you want to use
    • A black checkmark will appear next to the selected list
  3. Click Save

This will add all filtered contacts into the selected list.

Summary

Lists make it easier to organize and manage the contacts and companies you save in Seamless. Whether you are prospecting from Search, working in My Contacts or My Companies, or using the Chrome Extension, lists help you keep your data structured and make it easier to return to the right records when you need them.
