The Contact Lists tab under Contacts shows you existing lists with lead contact details. The total number of your contact lists is shown at the top of the page.
You can create new contact lists by uploading multiple lead records from a CSV file or integration.
NOTE
All the phone numbers in the file with contact details must be in the international format and include the country prefix.
Later you will be able to append the list with new contacts.
