# How to Create a New Contact List
How to create a new contact list — a static group of contacts you can use as the audience for a campaign send.
A contact list is a static segmentation of contacts. You decide which contacts belong to it and use the list as the audience when you send a campaign.
The steps to create a new contact list.
## Step-by-step
1. Open the Contacts page by clicking Contacts in the left sidebar.
2. Click Contact lists in the navigation on the Contacts page. This opens the Manage contact lists panel.
3. Click Create list above the list of existing contact lists.
4. Enter a name and click Create to create the list.

Contact lists can also be added from the [Bulk Actions](/guides/contacts-lists/bulk-actions-tool.md) tool — select the contacts you want and add them to a new or existing list.
{% endhint %}
## What to do next
To import contacts from Excel into the new list, see [Import contacts from Excel](/guides/contacts-lists/import-contacts-from-excel.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://support.emarketeer.com/guides/contacts-lists/new-contact-list.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
