Contacts

Lists
This is where you can create static or dynamic lists which are groups of contacts based on certain filter criteria.
- A static list will be used when you want to create a list that does not change, it pulls in contacts to the list from the filters applied
- A dynamic list will be used when you want a list to continue to be updated based on the filter criteria applied. For example, anytime a new contact is added to Salesforce or imported, based on the criteria, it will automatically be added to the list.
