Adding & removing contacts

From a contact’s profile

Open the contact. The Groups panel on the right lists every group in your account with a tick box beside each.

karani.co/contacts/1042

Tick to add, untick to remove. It saves immediately.

Changes save as you click — there’s no separate save button.

This is the right route when you’re already looking at a person and thinking “they should be on the newsletter list”.

From the group’s page

Open the group from the Groups page.

• To add: use the contact dropdown and pick a name.
• To remove: click the trash icon next to the person’s name.

This is the right route when you’re building or tidying a list.

In bulk

For anything more than a handful of people, don’t click one at a time.

1. Get the contacts on screen — either the contacts list with a status filter, or an advanced search.
2. Tick the ones you want. The header checkbox selects everything on the page.
3. Choose With Selected… → Add to group and pick the group.

Raise the page size first

Bulk selection applies to the contacts on screen. If your search returns 200 people and you’re showing 15 per page, you’ll be doing this fourteen times. Raise How many items in Settings → Preferences first.

Adding contacts during an import

The contacts importer can add every imported row to a group as part of the import. That’s the cleanest way to bring in, say, a list of event attendees and have them grouped on arrival.

What removal does and doesn’t do

Removing someone from a group only removes the membership. The contact keeps their profile, giving history, tags, and every other group.

Removing from a synced group

If the group syncs to Mailchimp or PrayerLetters, removing someone here changes what gets sent on the next sync. It doesn’t retroactively unsubscribe them from the third-party service — manage that on their side if it matters.
