Contacts

Managing your contact database.

Overview

Contacts is a central database of all the people your bots interact with. Contacts are created automatically when someone messages your bot, or you can create them manually. The contact database is shared across all bots and channels in your organization.

Managing Contacts

Create, edit, and delete contacts from the Contacts page. Each contact has a name, phone number, optional email, notes, and tags. You can also import contacts in bulk from a CSV file or export your entire contact list.

Syncing from WhatsApp

Pull contacts from your connected WhatsApp channels into Neuron. Go to Contacts and use the sync feature to import contacts from a specific channel. This imports names and phone numbers from your WhatsApp contact list.

Contact Properties

Each contact stores: name, phone number (unique identifier), email (optional), notes (free-text, useful for context the bot can reference), tags (for categorization and filtering), and custom metadata (key-value pairs for integration data like customer IDs, plan names, etc.).
