Add Groups to a List

Before You Start

Here are some things to know before you begin this process.

• Group fields can be required on  pop-up signup forms, but not on hosted or  embedded signup forms. Advanced, paid users can use the  Advanced Forms option to custom-code a required group field.
• Group fields appear at the bottom of your list's signup form, because they work different than regular list fields.
• Each list can have  up to 60 group names. Group titles don't count toward the 60-group limit.
• You can also use group data to target subscribers who are in a specific group or who are not currently in any group. 

Add Groups on Lists Page

1. Navigate to the Lists page.

3. Click Groups.
4. Click Create Groups to expand the group options.
5. Choose an option for how the groups will appear on your signup form.

7. To add more Group names, click Add Group.
8. Click Save.

A success message will display with the option to Import To These Groups, or click Done For Now.
