## You can view the detailed instruction on how to create a contact list so you can start scheduling and creating campaigns.
**Setup: Create a Contact List**
Please follow this guide for creating a list so you can start scheduling and creating campaigns. The following steps need to be performed:

2\. In the pop-up window, you can Name the list, add Tags, and add a Description. If you check ‘**Enable API**’, this option will make your contact list API enabled and it will generate API Documentation explaining how you could send a contact to the list through the API (checkpoint #7 for more details). Click the “**Add**” button to save a list. Your new list will appear at the top of the table.
***Note:*** *Tags are used to segment data for sending new campaigns. You can set these up in the “**Tags**” section of “**List Management.**” You can create tags for specific demographics, i.e., Female, Insurance, Car, Age Range. This can be used to create new lists in “**Create New List by Tags.**”*
