Viewing and Using Your Account's Contact List

Creating and keeping a complete contact list of your businesses clients, guests, and other visitors is a great way to promote your website with promotional offerings and generate repeat customers. In your Zenfolio account, you will find the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) section, which is the central location for you to find information specific to your clients, guests, and other visitors that have been to your Galleries. The information stored within this contact list can be very important in regards to marketing your website, services, and upcoming promotions that you may be offering. You can even use the contact list to quickly add individuals to Galleries as Clients or Guests.

The contact list will be automatically populated by clients that you've added to your Galleries, but also anyone that provides their information to you through visiting a Gallery or booking your services through BookMe – with the ability to edit existing contacts at any time. Not only are contacts automatically added through various actions, you can also manually add contacts to the Contacts Center.

2. Here, on the Contacts tab, you will see your list of existing contacts for your account. Clicking on a specific contact will allow you to view that contact's information.
