## Example

To use the `RetrieveLists()` function, include a filter that restricts the results to the ID of a send or multiple sends. This example shows how to retrieve the lists targeted by a single send.

```js
var listsSentTo = Send.RetrieveLists({
  Property: "SendID",
  SimpleOperator: "equals",
  Value: 12345,
});
```
