How do I Create a Contact?
Add a person to your contacts by hand. To add many people at once, import them instead.
Add a Contact
Open Contacts
- In DartPro, click Contacts in the left sidebar.
Start a New Contact
- Click Add Contact (Add on small screens). The Add Contact page opens.
- You can also click Add Contact on a group's page.
Enter the Name
- Under Full Name, pick or type a Title, then fill in First Name, Other Names and Family Name.
- Choose a Gender and enter the Organization if you know them.
Enter Contact Information
- Enter a Mobile number, an Email address, or both.
Choose Groups (Optional)
- Under Group Assignment, pick one or more groups in Groups. This section appears once you have at least one group.
- Pick from groups you already have. To use a new group, create it first.
Save
- Click Save Contact.
DartPro shows Contact Added and returns you to your contacts. If you picked exactly one group, it opens that group instead.
Field Rules
| Field | Rule |
|---|---|
| First Name | Required, 2 to 32 characters |
| Other Names | Optional, 2 to 64 characters |
| Family Name | Optional, 2 to 32 characters |
| Organization | Optional, 2 to 124 characters |
| Mobile | 7 to 16 characters. Required if Email is empty |
| A valid email address. Required if Mobile is empty |
💡 Entering mobile numbers
You can type local numbers such as 08012345678. When DartPro sends a message, it adds your country's code to numbers in local format. For numbers in other countries, include the country code, for example 447700900123.
If the Number Already Exists
Each mobile number belongs to one contact. If you save a number that's already in your contacts, DartPro updates that contact and shows Contact Updated. The groups you pick are added to the ones the contact already belongs to.
⚠️ Empty fields replace saved details
When a contact is updated this way, the details you entered replace the saved ones, and any field you left empty is cleared. To change one detail without clearing the rest, edit the contact instead.
Troubleshooting
I can't find the contact I just saved. Search for it in Filter Contacts. The list is sorted by first name, so a new contact may be on another page.
I don't see the Group Assignment section. You don't have any groups yet. Create a group, then edit the contact to add it.
