NOTE - CSV of IDs can be combined with Segments and Email Lists. It cannot be used with Email Lists (Merge Fields).
- Validation will take place on the file. If the file was formatted correctly, the number of matched records will be shown. If the file wasn't formatted correctly, a message will display letting you know. A yellow message may display letting you know that no matches were found, even if the file was formatted correctly.
- Click Save.
Lists and Segments
NOTE - if there aren't any Lists or Segments displaying in the search/dropdown, please work with Lists and Segments (requires a special administrative right unless you are a Superadmin).
- Use the Lists and Segments search/dropdown to select the List or Segment you want to use.
NOTE - Email List (Merge Fields) cannot be combined with any other Audience options (Email Lists, Segments, or CSV of IDs).
NOTE - Only one Email List (Merge Fields) can be used per email. You cannot use multiple Email Lists (Merge Fields) for one email.
NOTE - If using an Email List (Merge Fields) and pre-populate, the data shown in the Form/Event/Donation/Membership will be from the profile and NOT the Email List (Merge Fields). For example, if the name used in the Email List (Merge Fields) is Angie but the constituent record uses Angela, the Form will show Angela.
- The List or Segment will be added to the selection box.
- Click Save.
Add Audience - Exclusions
A checkbox for excluding records will be available if you are using a List, Segment, or CSV of IDs. It will not be available for Email List with Merge Fields.

NOTE: You cannot add the same audience to the Inclusion window AND the Exclusion window.
NOTE: Exclusions will trump inclusions.
NOTE: When dealing with Exclusions, the Email List is the only method that will ensure that all records with the same email address will be excluded.
