How do I add a contact by hand?

Short answer: The New contact button asks for a first name, a last name and an email address, then opens the profile for you to complete.

Steps

  1. Open Contacts, then click New contact at the top right.
  2. Enter the First name, the Last name and the Email.
  3. Click Create.
  4. The profile opens: complete it if needed with a mobile, a WhatsApp number or tags.
You'll know it worked when: The new contact's profile opens on the right, and they appear in the list.

What to know

The email address must be free: if it already belongs to one of your contacts, the creation is refused and it is the existing profile you should complete.
A contact created this way is marked as reachable: they are included in your emailings with nothing else to do.
To load several people at once, importing a file is quicker than entering them one by one.
