What typically happens when a filter is successfully applied to a contact list?

When a filter is successfully applied to a contact list, it allows users to preview the contacts that meet the specified criteria immediately. This functionality is essential as it enables the users to evaluate the outcomes of the filtering process before further actions are taken, such as initiating an outbound campaign. By being able to see which contacts are included in the filtered results right away, users can ensure that their selection aligns with their targeting strategy.

This immediate preview enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of outbound calling efforts, as it provides an opportunity for adjustments or reevaluations without committing to changes that may not yield the desired results. The other options do not accurately represent the behavior of contact lists when filters are applied, such as merging contacts, deleting previous entries, or notifying agents, which are unrelated processes in the context of filtering contact lists.
