These steps work on iPhone and iPad.

Create a list

  1. Open the ARTERNAL app.

  2. Tap the Contacts tab at the bottom of your screen.

  3. Tap Lists in the top-left corner of the Contacts screen.

  4. Tap the list-plus button in the bottom-right corner of the Lists screen. If you don’t see it, your account may not allow you to create lists.

  5. Type a name in the Enter a List name field (for example, “VIP Clients”).

  6. Tap the checkmark (Done) in the top-right corner.

  7. A banner confirms the list was created, and the new list appears on the Lists screen.

📌 Tip: Lists you create in the app are static lists. To create a live list, rename or delete a list, or change who can see it, use ARTERNAL on your computer. See How to Create a Contact List.

Add contacts to a list

Create your list first. The list picker does not have a Create New List option.

  1. On the Contacts tab, touch and hold a contact, then choose Add To List.

  2. Pick a list. A banner confirms the contact was added.

You can also open a contact’s profile, tap the ... (more) button in the top-right corner, choose Add to List, and pick a list.

To add everyone from a search, search the Contacts tab, tap the ... (more) button in the top-right corner, and choose Add Search to List. This adds every matching contact, up to 500 at a time, to the list you pick.

Remove contacts from a list

  1. Tap Contacts, then tap Lists, then tap your list.

  2. Touch and hold the contact.

  3. Choose Remove From List.

This option only appears inside a static list. It does not show in live lists or All Contacts.

FAQs

Q: Will my list show up on desktop?

A: Yes. Lists are saved to your account, so a list you make in the app shows up in ARTERNAL on your computer. You may need to refresh the page.

Q: Can I use my list in Smart Mail?

A: Yes. In the app, the Smart Mail recipients screen has a Lists button for picking contacts from a list. On your computer, you can add a list as Smart Mail recipients.
