Customer Lists

A Customer list is a static list of customers. When you upload a customer list, if a customer in the customer list does not exist in Blueshift, a profile is created.

 You can use customer lists for different reasons. For example:

• To add additional customers not captured in Blueshift.
• Withhold a randomly selected set of customers from being messaged for purpose of a "control" group.
• Use in a segment to simply send an email to an externally generated list of emails.

Customer data format

• A customer list must be a .txt file with one email or customer_id per row.
• Do not include any headers.
• Do not include any attributes.

Note: If you are using the customer list to create customers in Blueshift, you can add attributes for these customers by uploading data from Customer Data > Attributes.
