We recently rolled out a new feature — Do Not Contact Lists or Stoplists or Blocklists — to give you better control over your outreach and keep your campaigns clean and compliant. This article explains where to find this feature, how to use it, and what data you need to upload.
Where to Find the Stoplists
You can access the Stoplists in the Settings section on the left sidebar.
There are two tabs: Contacts and Accounts. You can create separate stoplists for either.
Accounts Stoplist: Required Fields
When uploading accounts (companies) to the stoplist, you can provide any of the following fields — just one is enough for GetSales to recognize and block the company:
Company Name
Example: GetSales
This alone is often sufficient for matching but for 100% correct results use the fields below.
Company Domain
Example: getsales.io
Can be used with or without other fields.
LinkedIn ID (Company ID or Nickname)
Example (nickname): linkedin.com/company/getsalesio → use getsalesio
Example (numeric ID): linkedin.com/company/123456789 → use 123456789 or the full URL
Contacts Stoplist: Required Fields
The same logic applies to contacts. You can block a person using one of the following identifiers:
Personal or Work Email
LinkedIn ID (can be LN ID, SN ID, LinkedIn URL/ nickname)
LinkedIn Nickname (e.g. john-smith)
Full Name AND Company name
You only need one of these fields to match a contact and block them, except for the full name, which requires the company name in addition.
Uploading Data via CSV or Manual Entry
Manual Entry
When adding contacts manually:
Make sure you fill in the fields correctly (e.g. enter a LinkedIn nickname, not the full URL if that’s what you're choosing)
To block a person by their name, add the company name as well.
When adding accounts manually:
Label the data accurately: for example, “LinkedIn ID” should contain just the numeric ID
CSV Upload
When uploading via CSV:
You can choose any ID type (LinkedIn ID, Sales Navigator ID, LinkedIn url/ nickname) - we will automatically recognise it (unlike when you do a manual upload).
The system will auto-map columns where possible.
Ensure consistency in formatting for smoother recognition.
Life hack: upload your CSV to Google Sheets and export it back as CSV to prevent decoding issues.
What Happens After Upload
Once you’ve added entries to your Stoplist, GetSales will:
Scan all current contacts and remove any matches from automations
Prevent future imports of blocked contacts/accounts and flag them if a match is found
This ensures your campaigns stay clean, respectful, and compliant with your outreach strategy.
Coming Soon
We’re actively working on updates that will allow you to sync stoplists directly from Google Sheets and provide more API capabilities.
