Frequently asked questions After finding prospects in Search, you can save them to lists or add them directly as a campaign audience. **Available on:** all plans. **Who can do it:** any user with access to Search and Lists. **Module:Main screen >** Side menu > **Search** ## What you need before you start - Have run a search with filters in the **Search** module (advanced filters or LinkedIn via URL) - Access to the **Lists** module to save the results ## Select results in the search After applying the filters and viewing the results in the search table: 1. Use the **checkbox** in the table header to select all results visible on the current page 2. Or check records one by one by clicking the box next to each row 3. The selection counter at the top of the table shows how many records are selected Important the checkbox in the header may select only the records on the **current page**, not all search results. If your search returned 500 records and you're seeing 100 per page, check whether the **“Select all results”** option exists before you continue. ## Save to a list With the records selected, click the **Add to list** button in the action bar. ### Create a new list 1. Click **Add to list** 2. In the dialog that opens, select **Create new list** 3. Type the **list name** (max. 200 characters) 4. Click **Save** 5. Wait for the confirmation – the system shows how many records were added ### Add to an existing list 1. Click **Add to list** 2. Choose **Select existing** 3. Search for or select the destination list 4. Click **Save** 5. Wait for the confirmation Tip when adding to an existing list, the system automatically skips duplicate records – contacts already in the list won't be added again. ### Columns added automatically When you save Search results to a list, the system automatically adds columns with data from the profile found: **For People:** ColumnDescription Job title Current job title Department Department in the company Seniority Hierarchy level Country Prospect's country Region State/region City City **For Companies:** ColumnDescription Domain Company website Industry Line of business Employees Employee count range Revenue Annual revenue range ## Save as records in the database Besides saving to lists, you can save prospects directly as records (contacts or companies) in the Nuvia database, without linking them to a specific list. 1. Select the records you want in the results table 2. Click **Save to records** 3. Confirm the operation in the dialog The contacts or companies are created in the Nuvia database and become available in any module (Lists, Campaigns, Smart Funnels, Conversations). Tip when saving, the system checks whether the contact or company already exists in the database. Existing records are updated with the latest data; new records are created. ### What happens during processing For large volumes (above 1,000 records), the operation is processed in the **background**. You'll get a notification when processing is complete. - The system processes records in batches of 1,000 - The list or database won't be fully updated until processing is complete ### Use the list in a campaign After saving the results to a list, you can use it as a campaign audience: 1. In the side menu, go to **Campaigns** 2. Create a new campaign or open an existing draft campaign 3. In the audience setup step, select the list you created as the source 4. The side panel shows how many contacts are **eligible** (have the required contact channel) and **ineligible** (missing a phone number for WhatsApp, for example) 5. Continue setting up the campaign Important the list is used as a snapshot at the time of enrollment in the campaign. Contacts added to the list after the campaign launches **don't join** the campaign **automatically**. ## Limits and rules RuleValue Maximum records per save operation 5.000 List name (when creating a new one) Max. 200 characters Batch processing (chunk size) 1,000 records per batch Deduplication when adding to a list Automatic Duplicate records are skipped Asynchronous processing Enabled for volumes above 1,000 records List linked to a campaign Snapshot New contacts don't join automatically ## Common errors and solutions ProblemLikely causeSolution **No record selected when clicking “Add to list”** You didn't check any checkbox Select at least one record before clicking the action button **Contacts appear as “ineligible” in the campaign** The contacts don't have the required contact channel (e.g., phone number for WhatsApp) Enrich the contacts with a phone number before using them in the campaign, or use a different channel **The list doesn't appear in the campaign audience selection** The list is still processing or the object type isn't compatible Wait for processing to finish. For campaigns, check that the list contains contacts (people), not companies **The save operation is taking a long time** A large volume of records is being processed in the background Wait for the completion notification. For volumes above 1,000 records, processing is asynchronous **Duplicate records when adding to an existing list** It's not an error; duplicates are skipped automatically The system deduplicates automatically. Check the operation summary to see how many were added vs. skipped ## Frequently asked questions ## Frequently asked questions **Can I add search results directly to a campaign without creating a list?** Not directly. The recommended flow is: select results in Search → save them to a list → use the list as the campaign audience. This flow lets you review the contacts before launching the campaign. **What happens if a contact is already in the destination list?** The system automatically skips the duplicate record and adds only the new ones. The operation summary shows how many records were added and how many were skipped as duplicates. **Does the saved list update automatically when I run a new search with the same filters?** No. Lists are static: they reflect the records selected at the time they were created. To keep the list up to date, repeat the search and use the **Add to** existing **list** option. **Can I select all results from all pages at once?** It depends on the volume. Check whether the **“Select all N results”** option exists at the top of the table. If the selection is limited to the current page, you'll need to repeat the operation on each page. **Can I create a list of companies and use it in a WhatsApp campaign?** Not directly. WhatsApp campaigns need contacts (people) with a phone number. Company lists can't be used as a campaign audience. Use Search in **People** mode to find the contacts inside your target companies. **How long does the save operation take to finish?** For small volumes (up to 1,000 records), saving is almost instant. For larger volumes, processing is asynchronous and can take a few minutes – watch for the completion notification. **Can I use the same list in more than one campaign?** Yes. The list can be linked to multiple campaigns. Watch out for overlap – the same contact may receive messages from different campaigns. **After creating the list from the search, can I edit it?** Yes. The new list works like any other list on the platform. You can add new contacts, remove records, create views, and add columns.
