Know who's calling before you pick up the history. Contacts lists every phone number that has reached your Business by call, web chat or SMS, with its full conversation history in one place. Use it to flag important callers as VIPs, block outgoing calls to specific numbers, and review past calls and chats quickly.

Contacts Overview
Contacts allows Business users to manage and review the people who interact with their AI Agent. Contacts are created automatically when a phone number calls or chats with the AI Agent, and you can also add contacts manually. For each contact, you can review caller details, matched integration records, conversation history, signals, notes, transcripts, and recordings. You can mark important callers as VIPs, enable Do Not Call to block outgoing calls to specific numbers, and add notes to help your team manage future conversations and follow-ups.
Important notes
Contacts can be created automatically from calls, web chat, and SMS.
Contacts are matched by phone number. Several people sharing a number are all linked to it.
A number without a matched contact record appears as Unknown Caller.
Every new number starts with Is VIP and Do Not Call off.
Do Not Call blocks outgoing calls to the number. Use it for callers who have asked not to be called.
A manually added contact starts building conversation history after its first call or chat.
