Adding & Managing Contacts
CONTACTS MANAGEMENT & ORGANIZATION
WHAT IS A CONTACT
A contact is any person in your system — lead, prospect, or client.
Each contact stores:
Name, phone, email
Communication history (calls, SMS, emails)
Notes, tags, and activity
👉 This is your central record for every person you interact with
WHY CONTACTS MATTER
Contacts are the foundation of your entire system.
They allow you to:
👀 Track all leads and clients in one place
💬 See full conversation history
⚙️ Automate follow-ups and campaigns
🎯 Segment and target the right audience
👉 Without clean contact management, everything else (pipelines, automation, reporting) breaks.
PART 1: CREATE CONTACTS
OPTION 1: Manual Creation
Go to Contacts
Click + Add Contact
Enter:
Name
Phone
Email
Click Save
OPTION 2: Automatic Creation
Contacts are automatically created when:
Someone fills out a form
Someone messages or calls
A lead is captured from ads
👉 This ensures no lead is missed
PART 2: IMPORT CONTACTS (BULK UPLOAD)
Steps:
Go to Contacts
Click Import
Upload your file (CSV)
Map fields (name, email, phone, etc.)
Start import
PART 3: MANAGE CONTACTS
When you open a contact, you’ll see:
📞 Conversations (calls, SMS, email)
📝 Notes & activities
🏷️ Tags
⚙️ Actions (assign, update, add to workflow)
PART 4: TAGGING & ORGANIZATION
What are Tags?
Tags are labels used to organize contacts.
Examples:
New Lead
Hot Lead
Seller
Buyer
How to Add Tags:
Manually inside contact
Automatically via workflows
🎯 WHY TAGS MATTER
Tags help you:
Segment your audience
Send targeted messages
Trigger automations
👉 Without tags, your system becomes messy and hard to scale
