Contacts Redesign - Add a new contact with details all on one page

[JimP65]

The new way to enter contacts is much less efficient for our company. We preferred the old setup where adding one contact was all in one page and you could lookup what list to add that contact to with a search bar.

Old Contact: Click add contact button -> Type email address -> click which lists -> Submit. 

New Contacts: Click to few a specific list -> Click add contact -> Add email -> click ok -> open a screen where you can choose which lists -> Submit. 

So, why was the add contact button removed from the first page in Contacts? The screen that the add contact button brings up is all you need to chose what list(s) a single contact gets added to. 

Also, what is the point of the small email address pop-up when you add a contact when the next window is just going to be the one I posted above where you can just type the email address in and not have an extra, pointless, click before getting to the window that actually gets something done. 

Since the add contact window still has a checkbox list for adding a new contact to whichever lists you have, what difference does it make what page you access that window from?

HORRIBLE! The whole new contact list format was changed where I hardly recognize anything. Manually inputting names and emails will now take 3 times as much time as before! I want my platform changed BACK to where it was for the past 3 years!

Hi guys, you completely took away the ability to quickly add a contact not even sure HOW to add one now. Please roll back the release until you can fix this.

I really DO NOT like the new way you have for adding contacts.  Please put the old way back!  The new way requires a lot of extra clicks.  It took me several minutes to just figure out how to even get to this option!

I was also very frustrated with providing this feedback!  Please keep it straightforward and don't automatically send me to help I did not ask for.

Thanks, from a 5+ year user of your product.

Hi everyone, thank you for sharing your feedback with us on this process of adding contacts into your account. We apologize for any inconvenience this update in our contact management dashboard may cause. What about the current steps or form for adding a contact does not fit your needs? What changes would you like to see in the process to make it easier?

I hate this thing. We rarely enter company info and I have to scroll all over the place to just enter basic info. I also want to change the columns displayed but not all fields show. Is there a way to elect the old format?

[SabrinaK203]

The new change has made it very hard to find and edit my lists I use.  I never got set up in segments because I've got too many clients now to take the time one by one to go through.

Not sure why they just sent me a notification that this is now open for voting??? What are we voting on?  I never heard any replies to my comments or recent questions.

At this time, we are not making adjustments to the add single contacts flow. Should we hear of any discussions in the future, we will share them here.
