Add your internal team members to this list to ensure internal teams receive all campaigns. > [!WARNING] > Seed lists will supersede all subscriptions, segmentation, [suppression lists](/documentation/docs/suppression-lists) and [global include conditions](/documentation/docs/engagement-rules#global-include-condition1). However, users in a seed list still need to be addressable on the relevant channel (e.g. if there is no email address stored for the profile on the seed list, they won't be able to receive email campaigns). ## Enable seed list To enable this functionality in your project, navigate to **Channels > Engagement Rules & Categories** and enable the **Seed List** toggle, then click on **Save**. A new **Seed List** page will be listed under **Settings**. > [!TIP] > Can't see this option? > > Seed list is an optional feature, not enabled by default. If you wish to use it, please [contact us](/documentation/docs/contact-us). ## Add users to seed list To add a user to the seed list, navigate to **Data > User Profiles** and click the **Options** menu > **Add to Seed List**. ![2240](https://cdn.document360.io/b056e88b-f6c1-4bd2-b5b8-08e9336a17c9/Images/Documentation/a9d53ca-Screenshot_2023-02-14_at_12.55.30(1).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-04T06%3A16%3A18Z&se=2026-11-04T07%3A16%3A18Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=d%2BHbhJNOAYlDD%2Fgdf6Vy7FXS8c0JEOn%2FnQ%2FGnnPl95c%3D) Users can be added to the seed list from the main User Profiles page. Alternatively, a profile can be added to the seed list directly from the profile details page via the **Actions** menu. ![Users can be added to the seed list from the Profile details page.](https://cdn.document360.io/b056e88b-f6c1-4bd2-b5b8-08e9336a17c9/Images/Documentation/de9ea9d-Screenshot_2024-01-17_at_12.38.10(1).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-04T06%3A16%3A18Z&se=2026-11-04T07%3A16%3A18Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=d%2BHbhJNOAYlDD%2Fgdf6Vy7FXS8c0JEOn%2FnQ%2FGnnPl95c%3D) Users can be added to the seed list from the Profile details page. Once added, navigate to **Settings > Seed List** to see all the users included in this list. ## Remove users from seed list To remove a user from the seed list, you can click the **Options** menu> **Remove from Seed List** either from **Data > User Profiles** page or from **Settings > Seed List** page. You can also remove them directly from the **Profile Details** page under the **Actions** menu. ## Target seed list in a campaign Once the seed list is enabled for the project, the option to send to the seed list will be available on the **Segment** tab under the **Send to Seed List** section. Check the box to send the campaign to all recipients included in the seed list. > [!NOTE] > Calculated recipients > > The number of targeted recipients will include recipients from the Seed list users if the option has been selected from the Segment tab. ### Seed List in Single Stage and Multistage Campaigns Seed lists works differently in single-stage and multi-stage campaigns. In a single-stage campaign, the seed list applies to the whole campaign. Seed list users receive the campaign on every channel they are reachable on, regardless of the campaign’s segment. If the campaign targets specific apps or websites, seed list users need a device registered on one of the selected apps or websites. If the campaign uses A/B testing, seed list users always receive Variant A. In a multi-stage journey, the seed list only affects entry to the workflow. Seed list users skip the campaign’s segment and audience conditions and are added at the start of the workflow. Seed list users still need to be reachable to enter. If the campaign targets specific apps, seed list users need a device registered on one of those apps. See *Application Targeting* under [Build a multistage journey](/documentation/docs/build-multi-stage-journey) for more information. After entry, seed list users move through the workflow like any other user. They are not sent a copy of every message in the workflow. The messages a seed list user receives depend on the actions in the workflow and on that user’s own profile data and behaviour. For example, a workflow contains the following actions: 1. A message action sends a push on day 1. 2. A delay action holds users for one day. 3. A decision action checks whether the user is in the segment **has not deposited**. - **Yes:** a message action sends a second push. - **No:** the journey ends. Two seed list users enter this workflow: - **Seed list user A** makes a deposit after the day-1 push. At the decision action, they are not in the **has not deposited** segment. They follow the **No** path and do not receive the day-2 push. - **Seed list user B** does not make a deposit. At the decision action, they are in the **has not deposited** segment. They follow the **Yes** path and receive the day-2 push. Both users are on the seed list, but they receive different messages. This happens because their profile data is different when they reach the decision action. Other actions in the workflow also apply to seed list users in the same way as other users. For example: - **Decision and multi-decision actions:** These evaluate each seed list user’s own profile data and behaviour. Each seed list user follows only the path that matches. They are not sent down every path. - **Split actions:** These send seed list users down a random path, in the same way as other users. Seed list users do not automatically follow a particular path. - **Delay actions:** Seed list users wait like everyone else. - **Cancel journey:** If a seed list user triggers the cancel event, they leave the workflow.
