    Add a contact

    1. Go to Audience → Contacts.
    2. Click Add contact.
    3. Fill in the fields you have. Only one of email or phone is really needed — email for campaigns, phone for WhatsApp.
    4. Add tags, comma separated, for example vip, newsletter.
    5. Save.

    Phone numbers

    Store phone numbers in full international format including the country code. A number without one cannot be messaged on WhatsApp.

    Adding several

    For more than a handful, use a CSV — see Import Contacts.

    Tip — Add tags as you go rather than planning to tidy up later. Tagging a contact at the moment you add them takes two seconds; retro-tagging a list of four hundred does not.
