How to Use the Bulk Editor + Advanced Search
Step 1: Access the "Contacts" section To start, log into your ActiveCampaign account and go to the "Contacts" section. This is where you can perform all bulk editing actions.
Step 2: Search for and select the contacts you want to edit You can choose between two ways to select the contacts you want to edit:
Option 1 → Advanced Search Click on "Advanced Search" to use specific filters that allow you to find the contacts you want to edit in bulk. For example, you can filter contacts by tags, custom fields, or any other criteria that suit your needs.
Option 2 → Manually Select If you already know the contacts you want to edit, simply check the box next to each contact in the main list.
