Add a customer
Add a customer by hand and handle duplicate emails and phone numbers.
Last updated
Before you start
You need their email address. Everything else is optional. It takes about a minute.
Add one customer
- Click Customers in the left rail.
- Click New customer.
- Type the email. Add first name, last name and phone if you have them.
- Type a note in Notes if you want one saved with the record.
- Click Add customer.
The note appears on the Notes tab of the new record.
What happens with duplicates
yaya matches on email first.
- Same email. The customer already exists. The panel offers an Open button with their name. It opens the existing record and creates no second one.
- Same phone, different email. The panel shows who has that number. Click Add anyway if the shared number is right, for example a family or a shop line. Phones match by digits only, so
+1 (415) 555-0199and4155550199are the same.
Fix common problems
The Add customer button is grey. The email field is empty.
"Could not add the customer." Check the email format and try again.
I added the wrong person. Open the record, click the three-dot button, then Delete.
To add many people at once, see Import and download contacts.
