Dialpad Meetings offers features to help users manage their contacts effectively. Users can manually add contacts, import contacts from a Google account or a CSV file, and create contact groups. To manually add a contact, users need to go to the Contacts section and enter the contact details. Importing contacts from a Google account requires granting access to Dialpad Meetings. Bulk uploading contacts using a CSV file is also possible, with specific headers required. Contact groups can be created to simplify scheduling meetings with multiple participants. Users can edit, delete, or block contacts as needed. Blocked contacts can be managed separately in the Blocked Contacts section. It's important to note that the Contacts section is only visible for users without a Dialpad account; those with an account manage their contacts within Dialpad itself.
Organizing your contacts in Dialpad Meetings makes it easier to schedule meetings and invite other participants.
Let's take a closer look at how to manage contacts in Dialpad Meetings.
Accounts managed through Dialpad rather than Dialpad Meetings will not display the Contacts section; instead, you'll need to add, import, and manage contacts through Dialpad directly.
This article is applicable to users who do not have a Dialpad account, only Dialpad Meetings.

The Contacts section is only visible for users who do not have a Dialpad account. If you have a Dialpad account, your contacts are managed from within Dialpad, not Dialpad Meetings.
