Updated: March 14, 2025

Add a single email contact, or a small number of contacts, to a contact list by filling in their information, one contact at a time

Clock IconSave time: If you have over 20 contacts to create, or if you collect lots of different contact information besides names and email addresses, we recommend uploading a spreadsheet instead.

 

Need to add just a handful of email contacts to a contact list? It only takes a few minutes to enter their contact information to create a new contact record.

  1. From the contacts dashboard, click the Contacts tab.
  2. Click the Add contacts button.
