Contact information reveals not only who you're communicating with, but gives you easy access to shared items, notes, meetings, integration history, and much more.

If you're using Google Workspace or Microsoft Office 365, Dialpad syncs contact information, conversation history, calendar events, emails, docs, and data from your shared integrations.

Let's take a look at Dialpad's contact sidebar.

View contact profile

The contact profile provides access to contact details (title, local time, email, phone), assigned labels, and shared data from synced calendar events, emails, documents, and integrations.

To access a contact profile, select their name in a conversation or select the skinny bar.

Drag and drop the integrations and profile into your desired sort order for easy reference.

Edit contact information

To edit a contact's information from within Dialpad:

  1. Open the contact profile, then select Edit contact
    A conversation showing profile information for a contact in Dialpad. The option to edit the contact is highlighted.

  2. Enter the updated information

  3. Add or remove tags

  4. Select Save Changes

Note

Only personal contacts are editable; company contacts cannot be edited from the contact profile.

Notes

Use the Notes widget to help you remember important information, stay organized, and easily see what tasks have been completed (or have not!)

To add a note, open the contact profile:

  1. Select the Notes widget

  2. Select the + icon to create a note
    A conversation showing a contact's profile with various integration options available. The Notes box is highlighted.

  3. Enter the note details

  4. Select Save

Notes can be added, edited, marked as done, and deleted. Simply check boxes as you complete your tasks, or uncheck a task if you need to circle back.

Choose to hide completed tasks, or keep them visible as a record of your progress.

Notes are associated with a contact. If the contact is shared, the group can view the notes and any updates.

Shared calendar events

View your shared calendar events right from within the Contact Profile.

In order for shared calendar events to function properly, you and the company contact must schedule through Google Calendar or Outlook. Calendar events must also be set to public.

Select View All to open your email platform in your web browser.
