How to Create a Smart List in HubSpot

Use this interactive demo to learn how to build a smart list in HubSpot CRM using dynamic filters.

Quick summary

A HubSpot smart list is a dynamic, auto-updating contact list built from filter criteria you define in CRM > Lists. Once saved, the list automatically adds or removes contacts as they meet or stop meeting your active list conditions.


Steps

  1. Navigate to CRM > Lists in your HubSpot account.
  2. Click the Create list button to start a new list.
  3. Name your list and select Active list as the list type.
  4. Click Add filter to begin defining your list criteria.
  5. Define the parameters for your smart list using available contact properties.
  6. Add more filters using AND/OR logic to refine your criteria.
  7. Review your filter settings and click Save list to create your dynamic list.

📌 Why this matters

HubSpot smart lists automatically keep your contact segments up to date by applying dynamic filter criteria, eliminating the need for manual list management. Marketers and sales teams can use active lists to trigger workflows, target campaigns, and personalize outreach based on real-time contact data. Building a smart list with AND/OR filter logic ensures your segments stay precise and relevant as your CRM data changes. This makes HubSpot smart lists a critical tool for scalable, data-driven marketing automation.
