We have multiple lists that serve different purposes. I’d like to identify all of the lists with a specific word in the name and add them to a master list. I don’t see a way to add a list to another list, and even if I exported the list of shared contacts, it doesn’t look like it would indicate what lists they already belong to. Any suggestions?

Use case example: Add all the groups with “Software” in the name and add them to the Business Continuity list to create one master distribution list.

Hey Shelley, 

Phoebe here with the Front team. 

Right now, you can search for contacts by keyword, and then mass select them to add to a List. You can also search for Lists by keyword, but you can’t mass select them and combine them into another list. I’d definitely recommend adding a feature request to our portal here

In the meantime, your best bet is to export your contacts, then use an external CSV editor (like Google docs or excel) to consolidate the contacts that exist in a list that contains a certain keyword. From there, you can upload the master list as a new List in Front. 

More on exporting contacts here, and more on importing them here. If you need help with the specifics of the export/import, feel free to reach out to our support team here and we’ll guide you.
