Manage contact details
Last updated: August 10, 2026
The contact details panel brings the selected contact's profile, tags, owner, notes, and comment history together beside the conversation. Press P to show or hide it.
Profile summary
The fields available depend on the contact’s channel and on data returned by that channel.
Channel or contact type | Details that can appear |
|---|---|
Name, username, profile image, verified badge, bio, external link, follower/following counts, and plan when available | |
Name, profile image, plan when available, and any additional details returned with the conversation | |
SMS | Name or initials, phone number, email address, and plan when available |
Name, email address, connected-thread context, and plan when available | |
Merged Contact | Combined identity, phone number, email address, and plan when available |
A field that is blank or absent usually means the source did not provide it. Select an available profile or external link to open it in a new tab.
Manage tags
Use Contact Tags to organize the contact and control tag-based Inbox filters, reports, and workflows.
To add or remove an existing tag:
Select Add Tags, or press
Twhile the contact details panel is open.Search for the tag.
Select an unchecked tag to add it, or select a checked tag to remove it.
Create a tag
Administrators can create and assign a tag without leaving the contact:
Select Add Tags.
Enter a unique tag name.
Select Create new tag "Your tag name".
The new tag is added to the contact immediately and becomes available throughout the workspace. Administrators can maintain the complete tag list under Settings → Tags.
Assign a plan
An assigned plan appears in the contact's profile summary. When you add the configured primary (Closed Won) tag, Winly requires you to select a plan before it applies that tag.
Add the configured primary tag from Contact Tags.
In the dialog that opens, select the correct plan.
Click Save.
Closing the prompt without selecting a plan cancels the primary tag change.
The available names and amounts are maintained under Create and manage plans. Changes to that catalog do not rewrite plans already stored on existing contacts.
Assign an owner
Open Contact Owner or press O and select an owner. The new owner is saved immediately.
Let Autopilot handle a conversation
If you want Autopilot to handle the conversation for a human-owned contact, use Let Autopilot handle this conversation option below the owner selector:
Select On to let Autopilot respond without changing the current owner.
Wait for the confirmation that Autopilot is handling the conversation.
Select Off when Autopilot should stop handling it. The human owner remains unchanged.
This option appears only when Autopilot is enabled for the account and a human owns the contact.
While Autopilot is handling the conversation, the normal composer is replaced by a Takeover button. See Control Autopilot handling and take over a conversation before responding manually.
