Contacts & Lists
Organise the people you message into contact lists, so you can broadcast and automate to the right groups.
Import or add contacts
- Open Contacts in the sidebar.
- Click Import to upload a spreadsheet (CSV/Excel), or + Add to add one by hand.

- Map the columns (name, phone, and any custom fields like
cityorplan). Custom fields can be used later as variables ({city}) in messages.
Create a contact list
- In Contact Lists, click + New List and give it a name.
- Add contacts to the list (from import, or by selecting existing contacts).

Tips
Clean numbers
Use full international format (e.g. 60123456789). FCT CRM checks which numbers are actually on WhatsApp before sending.
Unsubscribe & blacklist
Numbers on your unsubscribe or blacklist are skipped automatically in broadcasts.
