# How to duplicate contact groups in MXT 

## Steps on how to duplicate/copy an existing contact list

**1.** Select ***‘Send Messages’*** from the left-hand side of the MXT menu, then click on ***‘Contact Lists’***.

**2.** Here, you will see a list of your contact group lists. Click on the ***'Cog Icon'*** next to the group that you would like to duplicate, then select the ***‘Duplicate’*** menu option.

**3.** Enter any new details as necessary for the duplicated contact list. If required, you can also add some ***'Custom Fields'*** that apply to contacts in this group.

**Note:** the [keyword for Email to SMS](https://hs.smsglobal.com/how-to-send-an-email-to-sms-to-a-contact-list-smsglobal-help-center?hsLang=en-au) must be different to the first contact list. You cannot have more than one contact list with the same keyword assigned for Email to SMS.

**4.** Once finished, click on ***'Update Group'*** to save changes.
