Add an Email or Domain Suppression List in AIE

Prev Next

For your AI Email (AIE) campaigns, you have the option to suppress lists of emails or domains with a suppression list. This prevents your AI email agent from sending emails to a specific group of leads in your campaigns. AIE provides pre-built suppression lists, and you can create your own custom ones.

You apply suppression lists to individual campaigns in the Enroll contacts > 3. Who should not get emails from your AI section.

To locate all your suppression lists, go to People > Suppression lists.

Pre-built suppression lists

Your AI email agent has several pre-built suppression lists based on filters:

  • Bounced (Required)
    Leads that have any previous conversations with the Bounced status.

  • Do Not Contact (Required)
    Leads marked with the Do Not Contact status.

  • Leads interacted within last 6 months Leads whose last email interactions was within the last 6 months.

  • Leads interacted within last 3 months
    Leads whose last email interaction was within the last 3 months.

  • Leads interacted within last 1 month
    Leads whose last email interaction was within the last 1 month.

  • Leads not interested in last conversation
    Leads marked as “Not interested” in the most recent conversation.

  • Previously qualified leads
    Leads marked as “Qualified” in any previous conversations.

When selected, your AI email agent will not reach out to leads that fall within these suppression lists for your campaign.

Leads previously marked as Do Not Contact and Bounced leads are automatically suppressed.

Custom suppression lists

You can add your own email or domain list that appears under Optional Suppression Lists. When these lists are activated for a campaign, your AI email agent will not reach out to these specific leads (for email suppression lists), or leads belonging to these specific domains (for domain suppression lists).

Prerequisites
