Who can use this feature?
System & User administrators only
Your organisation on Qwil Messenger is composed of two user types Staff and Clients with Contact Books that are used to connect users to each other. You are the one creating the contact book on the phone so that your clients know who they can start a chat with.
The coverage model will evolve over time and so will Contact books. You can easily add users to contact books manually or through import as described below. You would use an import if you have one staff to add to many contact books or multiple changes.
Do refer to our Guide to onboarding your users to Qwil Messenger for further details on how to replicate your coverage model in Qwil and understand the relationship between staff, contact books, and clients.
What to expect?
- You can add users to contact books by importing your contact book memberships using an excel template CSV file.
- You must have created your Contact books and invited your users before you can add them to contact book.
- This can also be done manually see Add contact book members
