Lists
A list groups contacts who belong together — newsletter subscribers, customers, event registrants. Sends target lists or the segments built from them.
- Many lists per account
- A contact can be on several
- Per-list opt-out honoured
Audience
A clean data model: lists hold contacts, each contact carries typed field values. Guided import, bulk update, and list operations keep it tidy — and in ONE each record also carries Pixel and conversion history, so it reflects behaviour, not just attributes.

Contact
The model
Simple enough to reason about, structured enough to drive precise segmentation and personalization. The shape is what makes everything downstream possible.
The container
A list groups contacts who belong together — newsletter subscribers, customers, event registrants. Sends target lists or the segments built from them.
The record
You are hereEach contact is a person, identified by email, carrying every field value, every engagement event, and — in ONE — their pixel and conversion history.
The shape
Typed Custom Fields define what each contact can hold. The types are what make segmentation operators and clean personalization work.
Keep it tidy
Audiences aren't static — they get reorganised, cleaned, and migrated. List operations do that in place, so you never have to destructively re-upload to fix the shape of your data.
Break one list into parts — by criteria, or into evenly-sized chunks for staged sends.
Combine lists into one, de-duplicating overlapping contacts as they join.
Duplicate a slice of contacts into another list without removing them from the first.
Pull a list or segment to CSV for backup, analysis, or moving it elsewhere.
Change a field value across many contacts at once — a re-tag or plan migration in one action.
Validation and de-duping run on import, so the same person doesn't land twice.
Clean on the way in
The guided wizard reads your CSV header, lets you map each column to a Custom Field, and validates and de-dupes as it loads — so the audience arrives structured and clean rather than as raw rows you fix later.
Prefer not to upload a file? Pull contacts straight from Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, or Mailchimp over OAuth, or let web forms write to a list directly.
What ONE adds
Most ESPs store the attributes you imported and stop there. In ONE the record keeps growing as the contact interacts — which is what makes behavioural targeting possible.
Typical ESP
A contact is whatever was on the import row — name, email, a few fields. It tells you who someone is, frozen at upload, but nothing about what they've done since. Targeting is limited to declared attributes.
Mumara ONE
Alongside fields, each record accrues engagement history plus pixel and conversion events. "Viewed pricing", "purchased twice", "opened the last three sends" all live on the contact — so segments and personalization can read behaviour, not just attributes.
What teams do with the audience layer
“The contact record carrying conversion history changed how we think about our list. It's not a static address book anymore — it's a living profile we can actually segment on. Importing stayed dead simple, but what we can do with the data afterwards is night and day.”

Common questions
Lists contain contacts, and each contact carries typed Custom Field values. A contact can belong to multiple lists. It's simple to reason about and structured enough to drive precise segmentation and personalization.
A guided CSV wizard maps your columns to fields, with validation and de-duplication on the way in. You can also pull contacts from Gmail/Outlook/Yahoo/Mailchimp over OAuth, bring them via the REST API, or have web forms write to a list directly.
Split a list into parts, merge lists together (de-duping as they combine), copy contacts between lists, and export to CSV — plus bulk-update field values across many contacts at once. You reshape your audience in place rather than re-importing.
No. Import validates and de-duplicates against the email identity, so re-importing an overlapping file updates existing contacts rather than creating duplicate records.
Beyond fields, each contact record accrues Pixel-event history and conversion attribution. That means you can segment and personalize on what a contact actually did — viewed pricing, purchased, went quiet — not just the attributes they were imported with.
Yes. Lists are containers, not exclusive buckets — the same contact can sit on your newsletter and your customers list at once. Suppression and per-list opt-out are still honoured per send, so list membership never overrides someone's preferences.
Yes — through the Preference Centre, where they update their own field values and subscription preferences. Those edits write straight back to the contact record, so your data stays current without manual upkeep.
