My VAN list isn't showing in TextOut, how do I create a saved list and share a VAN folder?

You must save a list in your VAN folder for it to be imported into TextOut. A common error is to try and import a dynamic saved search instead of a static list, which is not possible.

How to Create a Saved List:

1. Login to your VAN Account
2. Click “Create a List" under "People" on the left side
3. Select search parameters for the Contact List (for example, likely cells, verified cells or target scores.)
4. Click the “Preview My Results.” (optional)
5. Click “Run Search.”
6. Click “Save List As” and save as a LIST (not a search.)
7. Select a Folder to save the list. Make sure to save it in a folder that is shared with TextOut.
8. Name the List, and give it a detailed recognizable description that includes the search parameters.
9. Click "Save."

How to Share a VAN Folder

1. Login into your VAN Account
2. Under “People” on the left menu click “My Folders”  (This is the same process for both “My Voters” and “My Campaign.”)
3. Click the Folder to share.
4. In that Folder, click “Edit Folder” in the upper right of the page.
5. Scroll down the “User Access” section
6. Under "Users without Access"
7. Select "API User, TextOut Civitech"
8. Click “Add” to move to “Users with Access.”
9. Scroll up and Click the blue “Save” button
