Add a New Contact

Adding a new contact manually can be useful when you’ve collected information offline or need to input data from other sources. Here’s how to add a new contact:

Click Customers from the left-hand main menu.
Select Contacts from the submenu.
Click the Add Contacts button at the upper-right corner of the page.
Choose Manually Add Contacts from the dropdown menu.
In the New contact form, fill out the following details:
- Email address (required)
- First name
- Last name
- Phone number
- Time Zone
- Organizations
- Tags
(Optional) Add a default shipping address by clicking Add default address.
If applicable, update the contact’s community profile by clicking Update Profile.
Click the Create contact button at the bottom of the form to add the new contact to your list.

Edit an Existing Contact

Locate the contact you want to edit in the Contacts page.
Click on the contact’s name to open their profile.
Select Edit Contact from the Manage Contact drop-down menu.
Make the necessary changes to the contact’s information.
Click the Update contact button at the bottom of the form to save your changes.

Change a Contact’s Password

If a contact needs their password reset:

Select Change Password from the Manage Contact drop-down menu.
Enter the new password in the provided field.
Click the Update Contact button to save the new password.

Send a Magic Link Email

To securely provide login access to a contact without requiring them to remember a password:

Navigate to the contact’s profile.
Click the Manage contact dropdown menu.
Select Send magic link email from the options.

Once you do this, an email containing a secure login link will be sent to the contact’s email address. When they click this link, they’ll be able to log in directly without needing to enter a password.

This feature is useful for:

Onboarding new users
Helping users who have forgotten their password
Providing temporary access to specific areas of your site

Magic links are typically valid for a limited time for security reasons. Advise your contacts to use the link promptly.

Unsubscribe a Contact

When a contact wishes to opt out of your communications:

Open the contact’s profile.
Select Unsubscribe from the Manage Contact drop-down menu.
In the Update subscription preferences section:
1. Select specific topics the contact wishes to unsubscribe from by unchecking the corresponding boxes.
2. Click the Update button to save these preferences.
3. To unsubscribe the contact from all communications, click the Unsubscribe from everything button at the bottom of the page.

Remove a Contact

The “Remove Contact” option will not be available if the contact:

Has orders associated with their profile.

Is enrolled in any courses.

Has community activity.

When available, here’s how to remove a contact:

Open the contact’s profile.
If available, select Remove Contact in the Manage Contact drop-down menu.
Click the Proceed button to confirm. Clicking the “proceed” button removes the customer information and cannot be undone.

Open the contact’s profile.
Select GDPR Delete from the Manage Contact drop-down menu.
Type “DELETE” in the confirmation field.
Click the Proceed button to permanently anonymize all of the contact’s information.

Clicking the proceed button removes the customer information and cannot be undone.
