Understand how Invelo’s dynamic List Builder differs from your manually uploaded lists.
Understanding the difference between List Builder and Imported Lists helps you manage your leads more effectively and make the most out of Invelo’s marketing and automation tools.
What is a List Builder List?
Lists created using Invelo’s List Builder are generated directly from Invelo’s nationwide property and owner database.
-
Uses real-time property data sourced from public records and proprietary data partners.
-
Allows filtering by location, property type, ownership details, indicators, and more.
-
Can be connected to Workflows and Marketing Campaigns for automated follow-ups.
Best for: Finding new motivated sellers and continuously building dynamic, up-to-date lists.
What is an Imported List?
Imported Lists are externally sourced contact lists that you upload into Invelo.
-
Typically created from your own records, driving for dollars lists, third-party data providers, or lists you pull from your local municipality.
-
Data can be managed — Invelo allows you to set the primary contact from your imported lists as the primary contact owner for the corresponding records in Invelo.
-
Data accuracy depends on your original data (you may add custom fields to bring data that Invelo doesn't have)
Best for: Managing existing contacts or leads you’ve gathered outside of Invelo.
Key Differences at a Glance
| Feature | List Builder | Imported Lists |
|---|---|---|
| Data Source | Invelo’s nationwide database | Your external files or lists |
| Dynamic Filtering | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
| Integrates with Workflows | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
| Marketing-Ready | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
| Data Accuracy | Based on Invelo’s verified sources | Depends on your original data (you may add custom fields to bring data that Invelo doesn't have) |
If you want to keep your contact data fresh and automatically discover new opportunities, it’s best to pull your lists from List Builder.
If you’re managing existing leads or data that Invelo doesn’t already include — such as probate or code violation lists — you can still work with them by importing them into Invelo.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Imported Lists update automatically?
Yes, data in Imported Lists is updated when Invelo does its daily property refresh. Once a property record is imported into Invelo, it's going to be part of the daily property updates for sold automation, vacancy check, and property data refresh.
