How do I search for specific people to add to email sequences?

Last updated: April 1, 2026

Context

When attempting to manually add specific individuals to email sequences, you may find that the direct search functionality has specific limitations. While searching by name typically works, searching by email addresses does not reliably return results.

Answer

While the direct search functionality currently has limitations, there is an effective workaround to find and add specific people to your email sequences:

  1. Instead of using the search bar, create a new audience in the Audience tab
