Knowledge Base: Contacts - Complete Navigation and Visual Guide

Overview

The Contacts page is the central hub for managing all your contact data within the platform. This comprehensive interface allows you to view, filter, and interact with contacts who have engaged with your business through various channels including website visits, form submissions, conversations, email interactions, and automated discovery tools. The page provides powerful sorting and filtering capabilities to help you identify and manage contacts based on their engagement level, origin, and behavioral data.

The Contacts page is organized into a table format with key columns providing essential contact information:

NAME: Displays the contact's full name when identified. Shows as "Site Visitor" or "Title Unknown" for anonymous or partially identified contacts.

TITLE: Shows the contact's job title or role when available from form submissions, discovery tools, or integrations.

LEAD SCORE: Displays an AI-calculated engagement score (0-100) based on organic interactions including website activity, page views, time on site, and conversation quality. Note that this score is only populated for contacts who have had organic conversations - discovered contacts or those added via forms will not have lead scores.

DATE ADDED: Shows when the contact was first added to the system.

LAST SEEN: Indicates the most recent activity timestamp for the contact.

ORIGIN: Displays how the contact entered your system. Common origins include form submissions, website chat interactions, email link clicks, and discovery rules.

ADDED TO: Shows which lists, segments, or groups the contact has been assigned to for targeting purposes.

Contact Type Indicators

Each contact row may display green icon indicators that reveal the contact's engagement history:

Olive green icon: Contact clicked on an email link

Green icon with sound wave: Contact has chatted with an agent or AI assistant

Green icon with magnifying glass: Contact was discovered via Contact Discovery or Social Discovery tools

These visual indicators help you quickly identify high-engagement contacts and understand their interaction patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between a contact with a Lead Score and one without?

A: Lead Scores are only calculated for contacts who have had organic conversations with your AI or agents. This score reflects the quality and depth of their engagement. Contacts added through discovery tools or form submissions will not have lead scores unless they later engage in organic conversations.

Q: What do the different green icons next to contact names mean?

A: The icons indicate engagement types: olive green means they clicked an email link, green with a sound wave means they've chatted with an agent or AI, and green with a magnifying glass means they were discovered via discovery tools.

Q: How can I find contacts who were automatically discovered?

A: Use the Filter button and select Contact Type, then look for "Intent Qualified Lead" or other discovery-related categories. You can also identify discovered contacts by the green magnifying glass icon.

Q: Can I export my contact list?

A: Yes, use the bulk action functionality by selecting contacts with checkboxes, then choose the export option to download contact data.

Q: What does "Site Visitor" or "Title Unknown" mean in the NAME column?

A: This indicates an anonymous visitor who hasn't been fully identified yet. The system hasn't matched them to a known contact in your database, or they haven't provided identifying information through forms or integrations.

Q: How often is the LAST SEEN timestamp updated?

A: The Last Seen timestamp updates in real-time whenever a contact visits your website, opens an email, or engages in a conversation.

Q: Can I manually add contacts to this list?

A: While the main Contacts tab shows automatically tracked contacts, you can use the "Add Persona" button to manually add new contacts or use integrations to import contact data.

Q: What determines when a contact appears in my list?

A: Contacts appear when they take any tracked action such as visiting your website, submitting a form, clicking an email link, chatting with your AI, or being identified through discovery rules.

Q: How do I see a contact's complete activity history?

A: Click on any contact row to open their expanded profile view, which includes complete browsing history, session timelines, engagement data, and conversation records.

Q: Can I filter contacts by Lead Score range?

A: Yes, use the Filter button to set score ranges and other criteria. Remember that only contacts with organic conversation history will have lead scores.

Q: What is the "ADDED TO" column used for?

A: This column shows which segments, lists, or buying committee groups the contact belongs to, helping you understand which targeting rules or campaigns apply to them.

Q: How accurate is the geographic location data for contacts?

A: Location data is derived from IP addresses and is generally accurate to the city or regional level. However, VPNs, proxies, or corporate networks may sometimes show locations that differ from the visitor's actual physical location.

Best Practices

1. Regular Filter Review: Regularly review your contacts using filters to identify high-engagement prospects based on Lead Score and recent activity.

2. Monitor New Discoveries: Check for newly discovered contacts daily to identify potential prospects who are actively researching your offerings.

3. Prioritize High Scores: Focus outreach efforts on contacts with Lead Scores above 70, as these indicate strong buying signals.

4. Track Origin Patterns: Analyze the ORIGIN column to understand which channels are bringing in the most qualified contacts.

5. Use Bulk Actions: Leverage bulk export and discovery features to efficiently manage large contact lists and trigger discovery processes.

6. Review Icon Indicators: Pay attention to the green engagement icons to quickly identify contacts with multiple touchpoints.

7. Segment by Behavior: Create custom views based on contact behavior patterns, engagement levels, and specific actions to personalize outreach.

8. Regular Data Hygiene: Periodically review and clean your contact list to remove outdated or low-quality contacts.
