5. Select your contacts.  Determine which contacts will receive your message by creating attribute filters and/or tag filters.  Your contacts must meet all filtering criteria. 

Note: The results of your filtering parameters will grow and shrink over time as your contacts list changes.  For example, if you create filters to send a message to all contacts with tags of "Driver", as new contacts are added with this tag, they will be included in future messages.
