Create an audience in a list create-segments
Use Campaign lists to create and organize your audiences.
A list is a static set of contacts which can be targeted in delivery actions or updated during an import or another workflow action. For example, a population extracted from the database via a query can be stored as a list.
Lists are created and managed via the Lists link in the Profiles and targets tab. These list are based on the default Adobe Campaign profile table (nms:recipient). Learn more
You can create a list using the Update list activity in a workflow. This activity stores the resulting population into a list. Use it to create a new list or update an existing list. To create lists containing other types of data than the built-in profile table, you must run a workflow. For example, by using a query on the visitor table then updating the list, you can create a visitor list. Learn more.
