Contacts Overview

    What contacts are and how they connect to the rest of SurveyKar.

    Beginner2 min readUpdated 13 Sep 2026

    Contacts are the people you send things to. They are the audience for email campaigns, WhatsApp campaigns and automations.

    Where they live

    Audience → Contacts in the sidebar.

    What a contact holds

    First and last name, email, phone, company, and tags. Email is what campaigns need; phone is what WhatsApp needs.

    The contact timeline

    Open any contact to see everything that has happened with them in one place — surveys they responded to, campaigns they were sent, emails they opened, tags added, automations that ran. It is the fastest way to answer "what do we already know about this person?"

    How contacts get created

    • Added by hand — see Add Contacts.
    • Imported from a CSV — see Import Contacts.
    • Created automatically when someone gives their email in a survey or form.

    Your plan's limit

    Each plan includes a number of contacts. The current count and cap are shown on the contacts screen.

    Next

    Manage Contact Lists and Tags and Segments.
