How to create a “Duplicate List”?

Short answer: Use Remarketing → My Lists, choose the list’s More actions (⋯), and click Duplicate. Rename it and adjust filters if needed, then Save.

What duplication does

Duplicating a list creates a new list with the same configuration (filters, segments, and naming base). It’s ideal for quickly spinning up a similar audience with minor tweaks—without editing the original.


Prerequisites

  • You can access Remarketing → My Lists.
  • Your role has edit permissions for the list you want to duplicate.
  • The list is not locked or shared read‑only.

Duplicate a list (step‑by‑step)

  1. Open Remarketing → My Lists.
  2. Locate the target list and click More actions (⋯).
  3. Select Duplicate.
  4. In the pop‑up, set List name and adjust filters/segmentation rules (optional).
  5. Click Save List.

What gets copied vs not copied

Copied

  • Filter criteria and segmentation rules (e.g., department, call outcome, recency window)
  • Naming base (you can rename in the dialog)

Not copied

  • The current subscriber snapshot. The new list is generated by its filters when you open or use it.
  • Sync settings to external platforms; configure those separately if needed.
Tip: If your original list uses a relative date filter (e.g., Last 7 days), the duplicate will evaluate over the current period when saved.

Best practices

  • Rename clearly: Add a purpose or date suffix (e.g., Missed Sales – 14 Days).
  • Review filters: Confirm department, call status, and date range match your intent.
  • Mind privacy: Duplicates respect opt‑outs; don’t re‑enable contacts excluded by compliance.
  • Keep it tidy: Archive or delete lists you no longer use to reduce clutter.

Verify and test

  1. Confirm the new list appears in My Lists with the expected name.
  2. Open it and check the filter summary matches your chosen criteria.
  3. Compare the count with the source list (they may differ based on date filters and recency).

Success criteria: The duplicate list exists, reflects the intended filters, and shows a reasonable subscriber count.


Troubleshooting

  • Duplicate option missing: You may have read‑only access, or the list is locked/shared. Ask an admin for edit rights.
  • Can’t save the duplicate: Ensure the name is unique and you have permission to create lists.
  • Subscriber count unexpected: Check date filters, department selection, and that numbers are in E.164 format for accurate inclusion.
  • Performance delays: Very large lists can take longer to compute on first open.
