The Lists feature helps you organise and manage contacts throughout your prospecting workflow. You can use lists to review contacts before exporting them to your CRM or sales engagement platform, and to keep your saved contacts organised.
The Lists page contains three tabs:
- All Contacts
- My Contacts
- My Lists
All Contacts
The All Contacts tab automatically stores every contact revealed by any user in your Cognism account.
This is a shared view that helps your team avoid revealing the same contact multiple times. Use the Saved By column to see which user originally revealed each contact.
Available actions
From the All Contacts tab you can:
- Download contacts as a CSV file.
- Export contacts to an integrated CRM or sales engagement platform.
- Save contacts to one of your personal lists.
Limits
- You can download or export up to 1,000 contacts per action from the All Contacts tab.
My Contacts
The My Contacts tab automatically stores every contact you have personally revealed using your Cognism account.
Unlike All Contacts, this view is private and is only visible to you.
Available actions
From the My Contacts tab you can:
- Download contacts as a CSV file.
- Export contacts to an integrated CRM or sales engagement platform.
- Save contacts to one of your personal lists.
Limits
- You can download or export up to 1,000 contacts per action from the My Contacts tab.
My Lists
The My Lists tab contains all of the custom lists you have created.
Lists allow you to organise contacts into groups before downloading, exporting, or managing them.
Each custom list can contain up to 10,000 contacts, and there is no limit to the number of lists you can create.
Available actions
From a custom list you can:
- Download contacts as a CSV file.
- Export contacts to an integrated CRM or sales engagement platform.
- Add or remove contacts.
- Review and manage saved contacts.
Limits
Unlike All Contacts and My Contacts, custom lists are not limited to 1,000 contacts per export.
You can download or export every contact in a list in a single action, up to the 10,000-contact limit.
Filter contacts
Use the filters at the top of any list to quickly locate contacts.
You can filter by:
- Contact name
- Company name
- Contact data quality
Edit a list
To update a custom list:
- Open the required list.
- Add or remove contacts as needed.
- Your changes are saved automatically.
Lists remain linked to the user who created them.
