How to Prevent Messaging Leads You've Already Contacted

To avoid sending duplicate messages and keep your outreach professional, our platform uses an automatic exclusion and filtering system, which ensures that leads you’ve already messaged are not contacted again in future campaigns.

The "Contacted" System List

Everyone you’ve messaged is automatically tracked in the "Contacted" system list across all your linked X accounts. This includes:

  • Leads contacted through current or past campaigns

  • Outreach sent from other software connected to your X accounts

This list is system-managed and updates automatically, so you don’t need to manually add or maintain contacts.


How to Exclude Previously Contacted Leads

When setting up a campaign, you can prevent messaging existing contacts by excluding the "Contacted" list.

Steps:

  1. Create or edit a campaign

  2. Go to Campaign Settings

  3. Under Excluded Lists, select "Contacted"

  4. Save

Once added, our system automatically removes anyone on the "Contacted" list before messages are sent.


How Automatic Filtering Works

Our platform runs multiple filtering checks to ensure only eligible and new prospects are contacted.

Campaign Launch Filtering

When you start a campaign, a two-step filtering process runs automatically:

  1. Exclusion Check – Removes prospects from your excluded lists (such as the "Contacted" list)

  2. DM Eligibility Check – Filters out users who cannot receive DMs due to closed or restricted messaging settings

This process happens automatically and requires no manual action once exclusions are set.


Contact Upload Filtering

When uploading leads, our system automatically removes contacts that are not reachable, including:

  • Inactive or suspended accounts

  • Private accounts that restrict messages

  • Users who have opted out or disabled messaging

These checks run behind the scenes to keep your lead list clean and improve delivery rates.


Why This Matters

Using the "Contacted" exclusion and automatic filtering helps you:

  • Prevent duplicate messaging

  • Maintain clean and professional outreach

  • Improve campaign performance and deliverability

  • Ensure messages are only sent to reachable prospects

By enabling this system, anyone you’ve previously reached will automatically be excluded from new campaign messages—no extra work needed.
