Contacts Overview

From the contacts table, you can see the overview of each of your contacts.

You can use press on the any of the headings on the table to change the sort order of your contacts table.

Note that the information displayed on your Contact table may differ depending on the columns you have selected.

Contact Profile

You can see each contact's profile image on the far left. The profile pictures are supplied by the channels that the contacts used.

For contacts from channels without profile pictures, such as SMS, a replacement avatar will be used.

Next to their profile picture, the contact's name will be displayed. The name is supplied by the channel and cannot be edited. Some channels, such as WhatsApp, do not provide names for contacts.

Locale

The locale is the language and region of the contact. This is chosen by the user when creating their account on their respective channels.

It is important to note that a contact's locale may not necessarily represent their citizenship or current geographic location.

More Actions

At the very right of each contact field, you can find the drop down menu (look for the three vertical dots).

From this dropdown menu you will be presented with several options:

• View Details: Open up the contact's detailed information.

• View Messages: Opens the contact's message history on the Messaging Module.

• Delete: This permanently deletes the contact from your contact list.

Contact Details

You can bring up each contact's detailed information by clicking on their Name or Profile Picture. You can also bring up the contact card by pressing "View Details" on the dropdown menu at the far right of each contact field (three vertical dots).

From the detailed contact card, you can access other useful information specific to the contact, such as Phone Number and Email Address.

You can quickly navigate to a specific contact using the Search function. You can also use the Filtering options to narrow down your contacts.

Assignee and Done Status

This shows whether or not the specific contact has been marked as done.

You can mark a contact as done or undo this action by directly pressing the toggle button.

Mark contacts as not done to signify that they require further human attention.

Custom Fields

In this section, you can see all the custom field information for the contact.

Custom fields are specific fields that apply to all users other than the generic ones like name, gender, locale, etc. For example, an HR bot that manages both employees in retail and office employees would want to separate them. We can accomplish this with custom fields.

Tags

At the bottom, you can view the tags assigned to the contact.

You can add new tags or remove tags existing tags directly from the contact card. Type into the field to create a new tag or select an existing tag to add. To remove tags from the contact, press the small "x" on the existing tags you wish to remove. Alternatively, you can also press the large "X" on the left of the field to clear a contact of all their tags.

Primary usage of tags is to organize users. For example, the you can broadcast party details specifically to contacts with a “Registered” tag. This way only the relevant people who have already signed up will receive it.

Try to stay organized and keep the number of tags on each user to a minimum. Tag pollution is bad!

Filtering Contacts

You can use the Filter options if you wish to look at a specific group of contacts. Press the Filter button to bring up the Filter options.

Filter Options

Once you are done, remember to press the "CLEAR" button at the bottom of the Filter options to clear your filters and return access to all of your contacts.

Alternatively, you can save these Filter options for future use as a View by pressing the blue "SAVE NEW VIEW" button at the bottom of the Filter options.

Save New View

Give a name to your new view and press the "SAVE" button.
