Search and Filter Contacts
Find exactly who you’re looking for in a database of any size. WorkOnward Reach’s search and filter tools let you narrow down your contacts instantly.
Text search
Type in the search bar at the top of the contacts page to search across all fields:
- Email address
- First name and last name
- Company name
- Any custom field values
Results update as you type — no need to press Enter.
Filters
Combine filters to create precise views of your audience:
By email status
Filter contacts by their marketing status:
- Subscribed — Active, eligible contacts
- Unsubscribed — Contacts who opted out
- Bounced — Invalid or unreachable addresses
- Never subscribed — Contacts without marketing consent
By list membership
Show only contacts who belong to a specific list. This is useful for reviewing who’s in a campaign’s target audience.
By tags
Filter by one or more tags to see categorized groups of contacts.
Pagination
The contacts list displays 50 contacts per page. Use the navigation controls at the bottom to move between pages.
Column visibility
Customize which columns appear in the contacts table. Click the column settings icon to show or hide:
- Standard fields (email, name, company, role, phone)
- Custom fields
- Status fields
- Tags
Bulk operations
Select multiple contacts using the checkboxes to perform bulk actions:
- Delete — Remove selected contacts permanently
- Add to list — Add selected contacts to a list
- Apply tags — Tag selected contacts
Bulk delete is permanent. Double-check your selection before confirming. Deleted contacts cannot be recovered.
Tips
- Save common filter combos — If you frequently filter by “subscribed + hot-lead”, consider creating a dedicated list
- Use search for quick lookups — Need to find one contact? Just type their name or email
- Export filtered views — Use filtered results as the basis for new campaign lists
