Classifying Contact "Types"

Edited

What is a Contact “Type”?

  • A Contact Type in CareFunnels is a categorization/label used to distinguish different kinds of contacts based on their role, relationship, or purpose within CareFunnels.

  • Inbound Phone Calls and Form Submittals create New Contacts in CareFunnels

  • Inbound Calls and Form Submittals from existing contacts (matching phone number and/or matching email) DO NOT create new contacts.
