Contact Profile

382 views April 27, 2021 0

Every contact in your database has a profile where you can view all available data about that user.

Things to know before you start:

  • Profiles are available only for contacts in the Default Contact List.
  • Some information can’t be changed, like when and how the contact was added to the Contact List or updated.
  • You can change subscription statuses of contacts, see in which segments the contacts are included, send personal messages, and more.
  • To learn more, check out our article on how to import contacts to SmartSender.io.

View a contact profile.

Locate a specific contact profile with the search tool using one of the unique identifiers ( userId| email | phoneNumber ). You can also access Contact’s Profile from the Contact List.

On the left side of the Contact Profile page, you can find general information about your contact.

You can use these variables for the personalization of the content of your messages. For example, congratulate your user with a birthday gift, taking into account the recipient’s time zone and language.

Also, you can import files and use API to add information to the profile.

The variable’s values are described here.

Last Name Contact’s last name.
ID The userId from the customer’s platform to synchronize with SmartSender.io and manipulate contact data. They are used as aliases for the Email address.

Subscription management.

In this part of the profile, you can see which channels the contact is subscribed to or unsubscribed. We do not recommend subscribing a contact to mailing lists that he/she has opted out of, without his request. This will negatively impact the reputation of the domain due to complaints.

    1. Open the drop-down menu.
    2. Select the required action.
    3. Confirm that you want to perform the selected action.
