Common data combinations

  • Contacts + Lists — Join these two entities to see which lists each contact belongs to and analyze list composition

  • Bulk campaigns + Brands — Join to enrich campaign data with brand-level context for cross-brand reporting

  • Contacts + Suppression lists — Compare to identify overlap and keep your active contact counts accurate

  • Bulk campaigns + Transactional campaigns — Append both into a single table for a unified send history view

Use cases by role

  • Pull Bulk campaigns into Google Sheets or Looker Studio to track send history and campaign metadata across brands

  • Use Segments data to audit your audience definitions and ensure targeting criteria are up to date

  • Send Contacts data to ChatGPT or Claude to identify patterns in subscriber attributes and suggest segmentation strategies

Platform-specific notes

  • BigMailer organizes everything under Brands — most other entities include a Brand ID field you can use to filter or join data

  • Custom fields defined in the Fields entity appear as columns in the Contacts entity, so expanding your field set will add columns to contact exports

  • Suppression lists are brand-specific in BigMailer — make sure you're pulling the right brand's suppression data when auditing deliverability

  • Transactional campaigns are tied to Message types — pull both entities if you need to understand the full context of your automated sends
