Drop the action Abonnement / désabonnement à une liste (List subscribe / unsubscribe) into your workflow and pick the target list. The contact currently flowing through the automation joins (or leaves) that list. It is free, synchronous, and especially useful for moving contacts from a "raw" list to a qualified one after they meet some criterion.

Key takeaway: use an add-to-list action to materialise an automation outcome. A contact who finishes a welcome series moves to "active-subscribers" automatically.

The most common pattern: promote between lists

You collect leads into a "raw" list, run a welcome workflow that emails them, and at the end of the workflow you add them to "qualified-subscribers". The opposite works too: trigger on inactivity, remove the contact from your main list. The action runs synchronously, so the membership change is visible before the next step.

It also triggers the next workflow

An add-to-list action will fire the list-subscribe trigger of any other workflow that is watching that list — same as if the contact had subscribed through a form. This is how you chain a welcome flow into a long-running nurture flow: add to list nurture-track at the end of welcome, and the list trigger on nurture-track kicks off the second workflow. To chain several actions inside one workflow instead, see chain multiple actions in one automation.

Removing from a list

The same action handles the opposite direction. Use it to clean up: after a renewal, remove from list renewal-needed so that workflow stops watching. Combine with the once-per-day safety and you have predictable list hygiene without manual work.
