You can add a new contact to your Contacts list. This allows you to capture basic information about a person, include them in your marketing communications, and store related information as you interact with them.
- Navigate to your Contacts page.
-
Click Create New Contact.
- In the Create New Contact form, fill in the fields as required. Your supplier decides what information they want you to collect - your contact form may look different to the one shown below. Required fields are indicated with a red asterisk *.
Email Address is mandatory and is used as the unique identifier for the contact. Note: role-based email addresses such as admin@, sales@, etc. should be avoided.
Note
It is not good practice to register your own email, or that of your colleagues, as a lead. Your supplier may have implemented a restriction that prevents you from doing this.
- Click Create. The contacts is added to the Contacts list.
What are role based email addresses?
Role-based email addresses (like admin@, help@, sales@, leads@) are email addresses that are not associated with a particular person, but rather with a company, department, position or group of recipients.

- abuse@
- accounting@
- admin@
