Contacts

Plan contact fields, consent records, ownership and lifecycle rules before importing customer data into VartaFlow.

1 min read · 97 words.

Choose a system of record and import only fields required by approved journeys. Keep consent source and purpose traceable. Define duplicate, correction, deletion and retention handling with the business owner.

Data preparation

Standardise phone-number format, field names and allowed values before import. Separate operational attributes from free-form notes and avoid importing credentials, payment details or unnecessary sensitive data. Test mapping on a small reversible sample.

Ongoing governance

Assign owners for merge decisions, access reviews and deletion requests. Record how updates flow back to the system of record, and monitor integrations for stale or conflicting values.

Team inbox

Establish conversation assignment, queue ownership, escalation and resolution practices for a shared WhatsApp team inbox.

Campaigns

Prepare a consent-aligned VartaFlow campaign with audience checks, ownership, suppression and measurable goals.

Templates

Draft and govern clear WhatsApp message templates with safe variables, accountable review and useful response paths.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What will I learn from Contacts?

Plan contact fields, consent records, ownership and lifecycle rules before importing customer data into VartaFlow.

Who should use this documentation?

It is intended for teams planning, configuring or reviewing VartaFlow customer engagement workflows and their operational controls.

Does the documentation guarantee feature availability?

No. Confirm the current release, account eligibility, limits and commercial terms for your proposed workflow before implementation.

Who should evaluate contacts?

Include the team that owns the customer journey, operational users, a technical owner, and the people responsible for consent, privacy, security and commercial approval.

What should we prepare before discussing contacts?

Document the customer use case, expected volume, team roles, current tools, required integrations, consent source, exception handling and the outcome you want to measure.

How is human handover handled?

Define when automation should stop, which team should receive the conversation, what context must be transferred and how unresolved or sensitive cases will be reviewed.

What customer consent considerations apply?

Use an appropriate consent process for the intended communication, retain evidence where required and provide a clear way for customers to change their communication preferences.

How should privacy and security requirements be reviewed?

Identify the data involved, access roles, retention needs, connected processors and incident responsibilities. Request current written security and privacy information during evaluation.

Can this connect with our existing business tools?

Potential connections depend on the system and the currently supported integration method. Confirm available records, events, direction, retries and ownership before implementation.

How long does implementation take?

Timing depends on account readiness, approvals, data, integrations, workflow complexity, testing and team training. Ask for a scoped implementation plan rather than assuming a standard timeline.
