People tab overview

A complete guide to managing contacts in the People tab

Written by Dasha Leshchenko

The People tab lets you view key information and metrics about all contacts in the sequence, as well as quickly manage, add, or remove them as needed.

General information

The preset filters help you quickly sort the contacts by their status: All, Opened, Replied, Bounced, Opted Out, Calls, Clicked, My (for Team Edition).

You can sort your contacts by Lead's Progress or History on the left, and pick the step you want to check.

  • Lead's Progress shows contacts who are currently on that step, so those waiting for it to be processed.

  • History shows contacts who have already completed a step. For example, if you choose Step 3, you'll see everyone who has finished Step 3.

This way, you can easily keep track of where your prospects are and what's coming next.

You can customize your view by clicking the ⚙️ icon - rearrange columns by dragging, add or remove columns, or reset the layout to the default view.

There are two similar columns: Opens and Views.

  • Opens counts how many unique times an email was opened (each email is counted once per recipient).

  • Views shows how many times each email was viewed by the recipient.

For more details, please see this article.

When you select one or more contacts in the People tab, you can perform various actions, such as validating email addresses, changing their status, moving contacts between sequences, and more.


Add / Remove contacts from a sequence

Change the sending email

If you add or remove email accounts from a sequence, some contacts may need to be reassigned to a different sending email.

To update the sending email for contacts:

  1. Select the contacts you want to update.

  2. Click Change sending email.

  3. Choose the connected email account you want to use and click on Apply.

The selected contacts will now use the updated email account for all future sequence steps.

To update the LinkedIn account for contacts:

  1. Select the contacts in the People tab.

  2. Click Change sending LinkedIn account.

  3. Choose the LinkedIn account to use for sending messages.

All messages and actions for these contacts will now be executed from the assigned LinkedIn account.


Log a meeting booked

You can manually record meetings scheduled with your contacts.

  1. Select the contacts in the People tab.

  2. Click Log a meeting booked.

  3. Enter the meeting details and click on Log a meeting to save it.


Change contact owner

To assign contacts to a different team member:

  1. Select the contacts in the People tab.

  2. Click Change owner under More.

  3. Select the team member you want to assign the contacts to and click on Apply.

All selected contacts will now be managed by the new owner.

To update a contact's stage in your workflow:

  1. Select the contacts in the People tab.

  2. Click Set stage under More.

  3. Choose the stage.

See this article to learn more about managing contact stages.


Blacklist / Unblacklist

To control whether a contact can be contacted, you can blacklist or unblacklist them.

  1. Select the contacts in the People tab.

  2. Click Blacklist under More to prevent them from receiving further emails or LinkedIn messages.

  3. Click Unblacklist to allow communications again.


Pause / Activate sequence

To pause or activate a sequence, use the toggle at the top right corner of the People tab.

The counter in the top-right corner shows how many emails have been sent in the past 24 hours. This helps you monitor your sending activity while the sequence is running.

Add a custom smart filter

Custom smart filters let you quickly sort contacts by specific parameters. You can combine multiple properties to narrow down exactly the contacts you want to see.

To create a custom smart filter:

  1. Click Create new filter in the People tab.

  2. Enter a name for your filter in Filter name.

  3. Select a property in the Property field (e.g., Added on, Sequence, Opens).

  4. Choose a condition in the Condition field (e.g., Exactly, More than).

  5. Enter the value for the condition (e.g., Opens more than 2 times).

  6. Click Save.

Let's take a look at the filter example above:

  • Sequence is Outreach

  • Sequence is Engaged Leads

  • Opens more than 2 times.

💡 Since we're using the same property (Sequence) twice, the system uses OR logic: it returns contacts who are in either the Outreach sequence or the Engaged Leads sequence, and who have opened emails 2 or more times. Contacts do not need to be part of both sequences.

Once saved, your filter will appear in Saved Filters. If you want to use a filter only once, click on Apply instead.
