How Contacts Are Created

Contacts are automatically created when visitors:

  • Submit a form (contact, callback, newsletter)
  • Provide their email in a chatbot conversation
  • Complete lead capture fields
  • Engage in live chat

Viewing People

Go to Contacts → People to see all your contacts. Use the People and Companies switch to move between individual contacts and company records.

Contact List

The contact list shows:

  • Name - Customer's name (if provided)
  • Email - Primary contact method
  • Phone - If collected
  • Status - Lead, customer, etc.
  • Last interaction - Most recent activity
  • Source - How they found you

Filtering

Filter your contacts by:

  • Status - Contact, Lead, Customer, Inactive
  • User/Client - Filter by subaccount (if you have subaccounts)

Searching

Search by name, email, phone number or company name to find specific contacts.

The search also looks inside your own custom fields. So if you store a second email address, an order number or a customer number on a contact, you can type that in the search box and the contact comes up.
