Lead Lists

A Lead List is a saved collection of companies that you intend to target.

Creating and Managing Lists

You can create a new list directly from the Companies search page when saving prospects, or via the Lists tab in the sidebar.

Saving a single company from its profile also creates a one-company list automatically, so direct contact purchases and saved prospect lists live in the same workspace.

If you delete one of those auto-created one-company lists later, it stays out of your Lists view until you explicitly save that company again.

  1. Naming: Give your list a clear name indicating the segment or intent (e.g., "Tech Startups in Berlin - AI matches").
  2. Reviewing: Open a list to see all prospects included. You can remove any companies that don't fit manually.
  3. Bulk employee unlock: On the list detail page, use the row checkboxes to select multiple companies, then queue employee unlock jobs for all eligible companies in one step. Each company still runs as its own unlock job and uses the same credit rules as the single-company flow.

Email Verification

Before you can export a list or use it in a campaign, it's highly recommended to verify the emails.

  1. Open your list and click Verify Emails.
  2. Anansio's background engine will perform a three-layer check (Syntax → MX Record → SMTP Handshake) without actually sending an email to the prospect's inbox.
  3. The status of each contact will update to:
    • Valid: Safe to email.
    • Invalid: Hard bounce likely; these are automatically suppressed.
    • Catch-All: Server accepts all emails; proceed with some caution.
    • Unknown: Server is unresponsive.

When To Verify

Verify as soon as your list is stable. That keeps bad contacts out of exports and avoids spending credits on leads you are unlikely to reach.

Exporting Leads

If you prefer to use external CRM or outreach tools, you can export your list. Exporting consumes your account Credits (generally 1 credit per verified lead). You will receive a secure, time-sensitive download link containing a CSV file of your data.
