Add & Import Contacts
Add contacts one by one, import from a file, or pull them in from WhatsApp groups.
Add a single contact
- Go to Contacts → click Add Contact
- Enter their name and WhatsApp number
- Optionally add email, company, tags, and lifecycle stage
- Click Save
SalesByte automatically checks if the number is active on WhatsApp when you save.
Import from a CSV file
Got a spreadsheet of contacts? Import them all at once.
- Go to Contacts → click ⋯ → Import Contacts
- Download the sample CSV to see the required format
- Fill in your contacts and upload the file
- SalesByte maps the columns and imports everyone
Supported columns: Name, Phone, Email, Company, Tags, Status, Lifecycle Stage
Phone numbers should include the country code. For India, use +91 followed by the 10-digit number. Example: +919876543210
Import from WhatsApp Groups
If your contacts are already in a WhatsApp group, you can import them directly.
- Go to Contacts → click ⋯ → Import from WhatsApp Group
- Pick the group from the list
- Select which members to import (or import all)
- SalesByte creates contacts for everyone and tags them with the group name
You need a connected Personal WhatsApp number to import from groups.
Contacts added automatically
When someone messages you on WhatsApp for the first time, SalesByte creates a contact for them automatically. You'll see them in your inbox and in the Contacts list.
