Manage Contact Details from Various Digital Channels

The Contacts page collects leads and contact information from all your digital channels. These include forms, live chat, WeChat, and WhatsApp. More channels coming soon! There is no limit on the number of contacts that a user can save on this page.

The Contacts page automatically captures and displays information from each channel, but not every channel has the same available data. For example, it might be possible to collect mobile phone numbers from some channels but not from others. The result might look like an uneven flow of information, but that's quite normal. Of course, users can update contact details at any time.  

Opening the Contacts page

Log into the dashboard and click ENGAGE > Contacts.

Sinorbis displays a table with all current contacts. Users can filter the data by several fields, including:

• Channels (e.g., WeChat, WhatsApp)

• Locales (country)

• Owners

• Segments (e.g., current students)

Adding contacts

Users can add individual contacts to the table. Click the Add button at the top of the Contacts page. Fill in the fields and click Submit. All fields except Last Name are required.

Downloading contacts

Users can export the Contacts table in a .csv file. Go to the top of the Contacts page and click the Download this list button. The download tool exports the data in the table and not the entire Contacts list, which is a handy feature when the user needs filtered data. 

Creating segments

Go to the top of the page and click the Manage Segments button. Enter a new segment name and then click Add, and then Done.

On the Contacts page:

1. Check the boxes to assign contact records to a segment.
2. Click the Bulk Edit 
3. Popup window will open.

On the Bulk Edit popup window, you can:

• Select or change the segment

• Assign or update the owner

• Select or deselect individual contacts

• Click Confirm to apply the changes

Editing a segment

To remove a contact from a segment:

1. Click the Manage Segments field.
