Creating Contacts

You can create contacts in Outsprint through natural language, slash commands, or during data imports.

Creating a contact

Using Natural Language

Tell the AI what contact to create:

You
Create a contact for Sarah Chen at Acme Corp, she's the VP of Sales, email sarah@acme.com
Outsprint AI
I've created a contact for Sarah Chen. Here's her record.

The AI extracts the details from your message and creates the contact, then shows you a contact card with all the populated fields.

Using the Slash Command

Run /new contact to open an inline form:

You
/new contact
Outsprint AI
[Form appears with contact fields]

The form includes:

  • First name and Last name
  • Email (required -- used as the unique identifier)
  • Phone and Mobile
  • Job title
  • Company -- Search for an existing company or type a new name
  • Lifecycle stage -- Defaults to "Lead"
  • Owner -- Defaults to you
  • Custom properties -- Any custom fields your team has configured

Fill in the fields and click Create Contact.

Company Association

When you specify a company:

  • Outsprint searches existing companies by name or domain
  • If a match is found, the contact is automatically linked
  • If no match exists, you can create the company inline

Contacts are also auto-associated by email domain. If you create a contact with sarah@acme.com and a company record has acme.com as its domain, the contact is linked automatically.

Duplicate Detection

When you create a contact, Outsprint checks for existing contacts with the same email address. If a duplicate is found:

  • You'll see a warning: "A contact with this email already exists"
  • A link to view the existing record is provided
  • You can choose to view the existing contact or proceed with creating a new one

Warning

Email addresses must be unique within your organization. If a contact with the same email already exists, consider merging the records instead of creating a duplicate.
