Contacts

Manage your contact info, how they like to be reached, and which cases they're linked to! 📇

🤔 What is a Contact?

A contact in Kayse AI is a person connected to one or more of your cases. Each contact record stores:

• Name and personal info 👤
• Phone numbers (can have more than one) 📞
• Email addresses (can have more than one) 📧
• Mailing addresses 🏠
• How they prefer to be contacted
• Linked cases
• Satisfaction scores 😊
• Where they came from (external source info)
• Whether they have the Kayse mobile app installed (shown with an icon where it helps you see it at a glance) 📱

Good to Know

One contact can be linked to many cases. This is great for returning contacts or people who have more than one matter! 🔗

🏷️ Contact Types

Kayse AI supports different kinds of contacts:

Type	Description
Individual	A person (this is the most common) 👤
