External Contacts vs Contacts
Regarding managing people outside your organisation, External Contacts and Contacts have the same features and functionalities.
However, when uploading, downloading, editing, or deleting external contacts in bulk, we recommend using External Contact Management in your Dashboard - Contacts Management menu.
Meanwhile, the Contacts in your Workspace (Dashboard and App) are best for adding, searching, editing, removing individual contacts and making calls or sending an SMS text to them.
You can view your contacts by category (e.g., External Contacts, Internal Contacts) and keep their information up-to-date.

Search Contacts

You can search for internal (Staff) or external contacts by typing their name in your Utility panel's search bar.

Internal (Staff) Contact List

The Staff Contacts List displays the following details of your fellow staff members or colleagues:

Profile image/avatar
Staff name
Extension number
Availability Status

Clicking on a staff member's name or avatar will display the following detailed information:

Profile avatar
Staff name
Phone Number
Email Address
Role
Department
Job Title
Time Zone
Extension Number

You can directly make a call (video call, audio, phone number) or send a chat or SMS when the staff phone number is available.

External Contact List

The External Contact List lets you store, manage, and share information about people outside your organisation, such as leads, prospects, and customers.

You can add new contacts, search, edit, and remove details from your external contacts, provided you are the contact owner.

You can make an outgoing off-net call or send an SMS when the external contact phone number is available.
