How to Manage Your Contacts in OutreachBox

Updated June 15, 2026
Quick answer: Go to Leads → Contacts to add, edit, verify, group, and delete contacts. Add contacts manually or import from CSV, organize them with groups and tags, verify their emails, and track engagement status (active, unsubscribed, bounced). Use bulk actions to manage many contacts at once.

Your contacts are the audience for every campaign. Keeping them organized, verified, and current is essential to outreach that performs.

How to access and view contacts

Navigate to Leads → Contacts. Two tabs help you see the right set:

  • My Contacts — contacts you created, saved, or imported.
  • Other Users' Contacts — contacts saved by teammates (shared database).

Each contact includes email, name, company, job title, status, groups/tags, verification status, who saved it, and the created date.

How to create contacts

  • Manually — click Add Contact, fill in at least the email, plus name, company, job title, and groups, then save.
  • From CSV — import a file and map columns. See How to Import Contacts From a CSV File.

How to edit, delete, and use bulk actions

  • Edit — update any contact's details or groups.
  • Delete — remove a single contact, or select many and Delete Selected.
  • Bulk actions — verify, add to group, export, or delete selected contacts at once.

Contact status and usage

Contacts carry a status — Active, Unsubscribed, or Bounced — and your organization's usage counters (email/phone reveals, contacts, verifications) appear at the top with limits and progress bars.
