Introduction To Contacts

Learn about managing guests in Event Temple

Purpose of Contacts

  • Every Booking must have a Contact — the individual responsible for confirming the booking’s details.

  • Contacts can belong to an Account (e.g., a company or organization) but can also exist independently (e.g., for weddings or private events).

  • Each booking can have multiple contacts, but one must be marked as the Primary Contact — this is the one automatically pulled into Documents, Proposals, and Invoices.


How to Add a Contact

  1. Go to Contacts from the left sidebar.

  2. Click New Contact.

  3. Enter:

    • First Name (required)

    • Last Name (required)

    • Optional details: Email, Phone, Job Title, Address.

  4. Select an Account if the contact is part of an organization.

    • You can copy the Account’s email, phone, and address to the contact.

  5. Click Save.


How to Edit a Contact

Editing a Contact

You can quickly update a contact’s information from either the Contacts list or directly from the Contact page. Use the option that’s most convenient for you.


From the Contacts list:

  1. Click Contacts in the sidebar.

  2. Find the contact you want to edit.

  3. Select the triangle drop-down and choose Edit.

  4. Make your changes, then click Save.

From the Contact page:

  2. Search for and select the contact.

  3. Click any editable field, such as the phone number, email, or account.

  4. Make your changes, then click the icon to save, or X to cancel.


How to Delete a Contact

⚠️ Deleting Contacts is irreversible. Deleted Contacts cannot be retrieved. This is a permanent action.

From the Contact page:

  • Click Actions → Delete, then confirm.

From the Contact list:

  • Click the dropdown beside the contact → Delete → Confirm.

Bulk deletion is not available for Contacts

  • Contacts do not support batch actions or checkbox-based deletion.

  • Each Contact must be deleted individually.
