Remove From List Action

The Remove from List Action is used in Campaign Automations to remove a contact/lead/account in the automation from a static-type marketing list. Actions can be added to the canvas individually, or they can be included within a Series. To learn more about series and actions, read this article.

NOTE 1: Removing the participant from the marketing list they may have been originally added to as a starting trigger for the campaign automation does not remove them from the campaign automation.  If you wish to remove the participant from the campaign automation, they will either need to be manually removed or end the campaign automation.

NOTE 2: There is a limitation within Microsoft Dynamics 365/CRM that prevents all the recipients removed from a Marketing List via the "Remove using Advanced Find" feature from being detected by the relevant plugin. This means that if you use the "Remove using Advanced Find" function to remove multiple Leads or Contacts from a Marketing List, only one of the removed Leads/Contacts will be detected by the relevant Remove from List trigger.
