Contacts Section

Tidio's contact list allows you to browse and export contacts created on chat, filter them, and customize the list based on various properties. This feature is available on all plans, including the free, Basic one.

In this article, you'll learn:

• How to customize the contacts section
• How to select and export contacts
• List of all properties - explained
• Send contacts to Shopify

Customize results and add filters

You can select all the properties you wish to see on the list in the Customize field tab. In the example below, the Created at property is set to appear on the list. You can select as many properties as you need.

Filters allow you to narrow down the results so you can contact just the right customers. Let's say you want to reach only customers from Poland.

To do that, click the Add filter button, then select the Country property and type in Poland in the is condition. The system is now looking for contacts where "Country is Poland."

As you can see, the list shows the filtered contacts:

You can add another filter to the current results to further reduce the results. 

Export contacts

Select the contacts you wish to export, then select the Export button. You will see a window notifying you that the list is being generated.

Once you see this information, you're ready to download the file. Click the link to download it. 

Here it is - a CSV file with all your exported contacts and their properties! You can upload it to a CRM, e.g., Agile CRM, or create a Mailing list, e.g., in Mailchimp.

You can also upload the CSV file to an Excel file or a Google Sheet to further edit them.

Sending contacts to Shopify

Data such as phone number, first name, last name, email & marketing consent are automatically transferred to the Shopify contact list if they were collected through the pre-chat survey or the chatbot and are saved as contact properties. 

You can also disable the option of sending the data to Shopify by heading over to the contacts section in Tidio and making sure the toggle next to "Send Contacts to Shopify" in the bottom left part of the panel is turned off.
