People View

Written by Domonkos Horváth

Cambuildr not only allows you to organize contacts into groups but also provides you with a list and detail view of all people.

List view

The search function in the center of the list finds results in the name as well as in the email address and in the notes you can make about a person.

In the list view, you can tick several people and use the toolbar that appears to subscribe, unsubscribe, block, unblock or delete them at once. "Select all" selects the people on the current page only, so for a long list repeat the action page by page. The filter next to the search box narrows the list to subscribed, unsubscribed or blocked people; there is no filter by tag. Deleting needs the person admin permission, and administrators are skipped.

Exporting people

The Export button above the list always exports all people in your database. It does not apply the search box, it does not apply the status filter, and it does not apply the campaign you have selected in the campaign selector — so the file you get is not the same as the list you are looking at. The export runs in the background and you receive an email with a download link as soon as the file is ready.

To export a subset — everyone in one campaign, everyone with a certain tag, or any other rule — open or build a target audience instead and use Export snapshot → Export CSV on its detail page. Every campaign automatically has a target audience named "<campaign name> - all users in campaign" that contains exactly the people of that campaign, so that is the quickest way to get one campaign's people. See Export a target audience.

Every people CSV — this one and target audience exports alike — ends with four campaign columns: acquired_via_campaign, acquired_via_source, acquired_at and last_campaign. They tell you which campaign a person was recruited through, on which landing page or app that happened, and which campaign they interacted with most recently. That is the person's campaign attribution, not the full list of campaigns they are a member of, so it is useful for sorting a full export but it is not a substitute for exporting the campaign's own target audience.

Person detail view

By clicking on a contact you get to his detailed view. Here you will find all master data (name, email, address, ...), custom fields, tags (top right), the action timeline, and more information.

You can also edit contact information in this view by clicking on "Edit profile" or one of the pen icons.

From the profile actions you can also unsubscribe, block or delete the person. Deletion is irreversible and removes all of the person's data. For every way to remove people, including whole lists, automatic deletion of unsubscribed people and what does not delete anyone, see Deleting people and cleaning up your database.
