Adding Contacts Manually

In this article, we’ll go through the exact steps to create a new contact manually from the WANotifier interface.

How to Add a Contact Manually 

1. Open the Contacts page and click on the Add New Contact button in the top-right corner.

2. This will open a pop-up with multiple form fields where you can enter details about your contact:

• First Name: Enter the first name of the contact.
• Last Name: Enter the last name of the contact.
• WhatsApp Number: Enter the contact’s WhatsApp number. Make sure the phone number includes the country code in this format: +91XXXXXXXXXX.
• Status: Select whether the contact should be Subscribed or Unsubscribed from the marketing notifications you send. Notifications are sent only to contacts marked as Subscribed, and are skipped for those marked as Unsubscribed.
• Contact List: Select the contact list where you want to save this contact. If you don’t see any lists, click on Add new list to create one.
• Tags: Add tags to categorize the contact.
• Custom Attributes: Add custom attributes such as website_url, city, state, date_of_birth, or any other information you want to store for the contact. Click on the + Add button to add more custom attributes.

3. After you’ve filled in all the details, click the Add Contact button at the bottom to save the contact.
