New Contact
Add a person with just a name and email; everything else lives on the profile that opens next.

New Contact is the fast path for adding a person at the counter or on the phone. It asks only for what you know right now and lands you on their profile, where the rest is edited.
Add a contact
- Fill in First name and Email — both are required. Last name, Phone and a Note are optional.
- Press "Add contact".
- You land on the new profile. Add address, date of birth, guardian or lists from "Edit details" there.
Coming from a search
If you arrive from the dashboard search box, what you typed is already filled in. A name is split into first and last; anything with an @ goes into Email instead.
TipSearch Contacts first. If the email already belongs to someone, the form does not dead-end — it says "That email already has a contact" with an "Open their profile →" link.
CarefulEmail is the identity of a contact. A typo creates a second person, and the two later need merging on the Contacts page. Read it back before you press Add.
