Bulk actions

Tag, assign, add to a pipeline, merge, export or delete many contacts at once.

3 min read

Instead of editing hundreds of contacts one by one, bulk actions update them in a single pass. Tagging 300 people from a property expo, handing a departing agent's customers to someone else, or clearing out test records takes a few clicks.

Note

The actions on the bar depend on your permissions; some appear as icons and show their name on hover. If you can't see an action, ask your office manager.

Adding contacts to an automation scenario in bulk (e.g. long-term nurture messages) is possible, but the scenario has to be set up correctly first; ask your consultant. See Nurture campaigns.

From the stats view you can download an error log for failed rows.
Contacts → Bulk Actions: status and stats for each action.
  1. On Contacts → Bulk Actions, click Show Stats on the action's row: see how many succeeded and failed, and download the error log if needed.

Where available, the row's menu lets you pause or cancel an action, or undo a bulk delete.

Heads up

Double-check your selection before a bulk delete or bulk reassignment. Safest approach: build the right list with a filter, check the count, then run the action.

When an agent leaves

  1. Filter with More Filters → Contact Owner = the departing agent and save as a smart list.
  2. Select all and use Assign to pick the new agent.
  3. Update conversation assignments too (Conversations → filter Assigned = the old agent). See Assigning and collaborating.
  4. Move open tasks to the new agent (Contacts → Tasks).
  5. If the assistant's routing rule includes the departing agent, tell your consultant so new leads stop going to them.

Tips

  • Create a smart list before a bulk action; you can see later exactly who it covered.
  • Run very large actions outside office hours.
