List types
There are different types of lists in Symplify which have different areas of use:
Normal list
All your contacts and contact data is stored in a normal list and this is the only list type that is available for sendouts. Add segments to target specific groups in your normal list.
Test list
Testing your sendouts is important and you then use a test list to do so. You can have as many test lists as you want, containing one or more contacts storing the data you want. There can be no more than 100 recipients in a test list.
Passalong list
A passalong list is an older method of storing contact data on recipients. This list type is not available for sendouts.
