How to add a new contact

Before you begin

Search for the person first to make sure they do not already exist in HelpOne. This prevents duplicate records.

Steps to add a new contact

  1. Go to the Contacts section from the main navigation.
  2. Click the New Contact or + Add button.
  3. Complete the key fields:
    • First Name and Last Name (usually required)
    • Email address
    • Phone number(s)
    • Organization / Company (if applicable)
    • Address information
  4. Add any additional details your organization uses (notes, tags, custom fields, preferred contact method, etc.).
  5. Click Save.

Once the contact is saved, the record is available throughout HelpOne. You can link it to donations, pledges, volunteer activities, event registrations, tasks, and more.

Tip: The more complete the record, the more useful it becomes for mail merges, reporting, and future outreach.
