15 Nov 2024

Managing your contacts just got a whole lot easier.
We've introduced a powerful new Contact Editor that lets you update key customer details directly from the Inbox and the Data page — no more jumping between tabs or hunting for settings. Whether you're making a quick correction or refining contact data across your workflow, it’s now simpler and more streamlined.
🔥 What’s New:
- Inline Editing
- Easily update contacts while you’re mid-conversation or reviewing records. Just click, edit, and save — all without leaving your current view.
- Editable Fields (Full Whippy Native Support)
- You now have full access to modify:
Name
Email
Phone
Address (now with Google Maps autocomplete!)
Preferred Language
Default Communication Channel
Block / Unblock status
External ID (great for syncing with CRMs or third-party systems) - Smart Country Code Editor
- Supporting international contacts is now easier than ever. The new country code selector ensures that global phone numbers are formatted properly and work reliably with SMS.
- Google Maps Autocomplete for Addresses
- When editing or adding an address, suggestions from Google Maps help reduce typos and standardize data for smoother downstream use (like routing, segmentation, or automation).
💡 Why it Matters:
Clean, editable contact data is the foundation of every great conversation. This update puts more control in your hands — whether you're updating a lead’s info after a call, standardizing entries from imported lists, or managing a high-volume pipeline.
Now, everything you need is right where you work — fast, reliable, and just a click away.
