The Contacts module allows you to easily manage your contacts and work with them as efficiently as possible. Whether it's just yours, or you want to share it with a smaller team, or have anyone in your department or company work with it. <\/span><\/p>\n Contacts - whether current clients or customers or potential ones - are the cornerstone of any company or business. Without them, there is no business. Without new ones, there will be no growth. Without systematic work with those acquired, the business will decline as will the customers.<\/span><\/p>\n Therefore, to truly manage and grow your business, keeping track of your contacts and actively working with them must be a top priority.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n When using the module and working with your contacts in FreshFlow, you will appreciate: <\/span><\/p>\n Get to know the module and what you can do with your contacts.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div> <\/span><\/p>\n This article describes the following functionality of Contacts and how to use it (click on a topic to scroll quickly through the page):<\/span><\/p>\n 1.

But don't worry, you don't have to go from Calendar (once you've set a date) to Contacts and back again to do this. <\/span><\/p>\n Simply type the first name, last name, and phone number of the new contact (and any other information you want for the event) into the contact entry box in Calendar for the new event, and save the event. <\/span><\/p>\n You will see a hint in the window:<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> After saving the Calendar event, it writes the new contact to the Contacts module.<\/span><\/p>\n Hopefully only you will notice the following abbreviation and no one else...<\/strong><\/p>\n Sometimes you won't want to write your first name or phone number. You may not even know them. So to create a new contact, you only need to type one letter (or the word \"name\") or one digit. However, you must enter a total of three elements representing first name, last name and phone number. <\/span><\/p>\n Of course, don't forget to add the name or number and update the contact later.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div> <\/span><\/p>\n You will have more time to add some contacts. You may also want to record more information with them. <\/span><\/p>\n In these cases, use the \"Add contact in detail\" function.<\/span><\/p>\n You can find it in the menu that opens when you click on the icon of three horizontal lines hiding more functions:<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> In the dialog box to create a new contact, fill in the items you know and save the contact:<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> Remember to click the \"Save\" button to save the new information.<\/span><\/p>\n When you close the dialog box, you will return to the list of contacts and see the contact you just added.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div> <\/span><\/p>\n You can bulk import multiple contacts into FreshFlow at once, including larger databases.<\/span><\/p>\n The specific process will vary depending on devices and operating systems - for example, you can import contacts from Google Contacts, from an Android phone, from an iPhone or iPad, from the macOS calendar. Instructions for each can be found in the Help. <\/span><\/p>\n The easiest way to import contacts into FreshFlow is from an excel spreadsheet.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Start by searching for the import function - you'll find it in the menu that opens when you click on the three horizontal lines that hide more functions:<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> When you click on it, a dialog box for importing contacts will open, from where you can download the template:<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> The template contains instructions for laying out the contacts into pre-selected columns and then inserting them into the import dialog. <\/span><\/p>\n For detailed instructions on how to import using this template, see the Help.<\/span><\/p>\n Before you send imported contacts, you can tag them with labels<\/strong> - such as the import date or campaign number or other identifier - to distinguish them<\/strong> from those you already have in FreshFlow or will add later. Read more about labeling below.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Just as you can import contacts in bulk, you can also export<\/strong> them in bulk.<\/strong> For more information on exporting, see More operations with contacts<\/a> below .<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n
