One of the basic options for the contact’s base segmentation in the system is assigning a state to a particular contact. The contact’s state is automatically given by the system. The use of such option and its scope depends on preferences of the SALESmanago user’s account. The main aim is to help with maintaining and interpreting basic statistics and precisely classify e.g. your potential customers. What is more, using contact state in your own database expands the scope of possible automations.
SALESmanago provides four basic contact state options: PROSPECTS,PARTNERS, CLIENTS, OTHER (other visits from the anonymous traffic).

1. Changing the contact state
[A] Importing contact base to the system
While importing the contacts to the SALESmanago system you have several options of assigning the contacts. You can assign tags to new contacts, change the status of consent for marketing communication (i.e. you can import contacts with opt-in status [by default] or opt-out). But you can also change the contact state during the import. You can find more information about the import here
[B] Adding a contact to the system manually
To add a new contact, go to CRM => Contact list => Add new contact. The fourth field [on the illustration above] lets you change the contact state.
[C] CRM – Manage contacts
You can change the contact state for a single contact or groups os contacts by means of a collective contact management. You can find more information about managing contacts through CRM here
[D] API – contact/upsert method
The contact state can be modified by means of sending data through API by means of contact/upsert method. You can find more details about it here
2. Checking the contact state
[A] Contact card
Once you open a contact card of a particular user (path: CRM => Contact list => Details of the chosen user), you can check the current contact state. Click the button Edit which will enable you to update the details, including the contact state.
3. Additional options with the use of the contact state
- sorting the contacts with regard to the assigned contact state on the contact list: CRM => Contacts list [example on the illustration above]. It lets you verify quickly the contact group that belongs to a certain contact state.
