Find Contacts
The Contacts page lists WhatsApp customers your business has interacted with or added for broadcasts. Instagram contacts are kept separate and do not appear here.
Open Contacts
- In the sidebar, open Contacts.
The page title is Contacts with the subtitle Manage customer contacts and consent preferences.
From Settings → Event Destinations, an inbound event row’s Contact #N link opens that contact’s profile here.
Summary cards
At the top (on larger screens) you may see:
- Total Contacts
- With Consent
- No Consent
These counts reflect your full contact database, not only the current search results.
Search
Use Search contacts by name or phone… to find a person quickly. Results update as you type.
The footer shows how many matches were found, for example 12 contacts found.
Filter by consent
Open the consent dropdown next to the filter icon:
- All Contacts — everyone
- With Consent — only customers marked as consented for WhatsApp
- No Consent — customers without consent
When search or consent filters are active, Active filters chips appear below the search bar. Click Clear to reset search and filters.
Browse the list
Contacts appear as cards showing:
- Name (or Unknown Contact if no name is stored)
- Masked WhatsApp username when one is stored (last three characters visible)
- Masked phone number, when a number is stored (some contacts have a username only)
- Last interaction (for example Today, Yesterday, or a date)
- Consented or No Consent badge
- Joined date
Click the eye icon (View Details) on a card to open the full Contact Profile.
Copy username or phone (admins)
Account admins may see a copy icon beside the username and/or phone number. Click it to copy the full value. The tooltip shows Copied! after a successful copy.
Pagination
When there are many contacts, use Previous and Next at the bottom, or jump to a page number. The footer reads Showing 1 to 20 of 150 contacts (numbers vary).
Empty results
If nothing matches, you see No contacts found:
- With filters active: Try adjusting your search or filter criteria.
- With no filters: No contacts have been added yet.
Contacts are often created from WhatsApp conversations or when you add people to broadcast contact lists.
