SUBSCRIBER LIST GOVERNANCE · Workflow idea

Move contacts into a mailing audience only when their permission is clear.

For an authorized mailing-list owner, review contact details from a controlled spreadsheet and prepare eligible records for an audience. Validate addresses and required fields, check the consent source and current subscription status, and preserve opt-outs. A row in a spreadsheet is not proof of permission: hold uncertain records for review and require an owner to approve the import and subscription status.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A restricted spreadsheet with documented collection source and consent status

“Prepare an accurate audience import without subscribing people who have not agreed to receive messages.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps teams prepare spreadsheet contacts for a mailing list while keeping permission checks visible.

  1. Confirm the list purpose and data source

    Check how each contact was collected and what they were told.

  2. Verify permission and current preferences

    Use reliable consent records and exclude unsubscribed or uncertain contacts.

  3. Check names, addresses, and required fields

    Correct obvious formatting issues without inventing missing information.

  4. Review duplicates and import exceptions

    Keep existing records and unresolved cases available for a person to inspect.

  5. Approve the audience change

    Require the list owner to confirm eligible recipients and subscription status.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A validated contact import with consent evidence, exclusions, and owner approval status.

The handoff

A validated contact import with consent evidence, exclusions, and owner approval status.

Keep in mind

The example sets imported contacts to subscribed, which can send marketing to people who did not consent. Confirm an appropriate permission basis for every person, preserve unsubscribe and suppression records, validate addresses, and keep uncertain contacts out until a list owner has reviewed them.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Document how consent is recorded

Keep source, date, scope, and notice details available for review.

Preserve opt-outs and suppression records

Prevent imports from overriding a person’s current communication choice.

Set validation and duplicate rules

Test with a small sample and report failed or conflicting records.

Require approval before subscribing contacts

Do not change mailing status until an authorized owner confirms permission.
