Dynamic Lists That Stay in Sync with Your SIS

Build complex audience segments using AND/OR rules that automatically update as student data changes. No more manual CSV exports from your SIS to upload into a mailing tool.

  • Rule-based dynamic lists with AND/OR logic
  • Filter by year group, house, campus, activity, and custom fields
  • Automatic SIS sync - lists update when enrolments change
  • CSV import for ad-hoc audiences
  • Suppression lists and opt-out management for compliance
