Contact List


What Is the Contact List?


The Contact List shows everyone who has messaged your WhatsApp business number. Each contact shows their name, phone number, labels, device, and last message time.


Searching and Filtering


Use the search bar to find contacts by name, phone number, or email. Filter by:


  • Channel -- Show contacts from a specific WhatsApp device.
  • Label -- Show contacts with a specific label (e.g., "Hot Lead").
  • Lead Source -- Filter by where the contact came from.
  • Date -- Show contacts added within a date range.


Save frequently used filters as "segments" for quick access.
