In the mobile app, tap on Contacts at the bottom.

​Then, at the upper right corner of the screen, click on the '+' button.
​

On the following screen you can start adding the contact details.

​Some of the fields you can specify:

Once you've entered a name, an email or cell number, and selected Yes for permission to contact, you can tap on the green Save button below, or Save & Add Another to bring up the add a contact form again.

Filters can be used to limit the list of contacts to just the ones that match a set of attributes like a combination of hashtags, statuses, sources, or whether or not they have search alerts configured.
​
To access filters, tap on the Filter button on the Contacts page within the app.

If a filter is set, then the icon will turn green:

While a filter is set, you can see the filtered list by the main contacts list and also by status.

The My Contacts tab will show you all contacts that match the filter criteria. The Status tab will show you the total number of filtered contacts in each status.
​
​To clear or cancel filtering, tap on the filter button, and click on the green 'clear' button at the bottom of the page.
​

In order to save a filter, you must specify a name, and click on 'Save' at the bottom.

Clicking Search will not save the filter and instead, immediately filter your contacts.
​
Once a filter is saved, you can access it at any time, by tapping on the 'Saved Filters' tab, and choosing the filter you saved.

Notes may be pinned to contacts:

​When tapped, the pin icon will change from grey to dark blue, indicating that it has been pinned at the top of the timeline. This allows you to make sure critical information is always visible when you open a contact.

You can also pin a note when you create it. Just flip the switch when creating your note:

When texting or emailing using the mobile app, you can select canned responses that you've previously created. To learn more about creating canned responses, click here.

​Then, choose the desired message. Tap the green 'X' to cancel.

You can add or edit existing market reports for your contacts on their profile tab.

Tapping add to the right of market reports will bring up the interface to add or edit any new/existing reports.

​Tapping Add Area will bring up a simple interface to select an area, and an interval.
​
To choose an area, begin typing the area name, then select the appropriate option from the drop down menu.

For the interval, you can select 7, 14, 21, or 28 days. The report will be sent at that interval. So, if you select 7 days for example, you contact will get the report every 7 days.

​After your options are selected, tap 'save' at the bottom.
​
Whenever a market report is added, or sent, you will see an update in your contact's timeline.  

You can view and edit search alerts for your contacts. Tap on the profile tab of a contact, and tap edit or add to the right of Search Alerts.

1. Tap Edit to edit the search alert criteria. You will have all of the same options apart from the map search area selection.

2. When viewing an Alert you can toggle on/off the alert status.

3. Beneath the status switch, you can view the alert results. These are listings which match the criteria that the alert is setup with. The listings are all recently updated or added to the MLS within the past week, up to a maximum of 6 results. This is to just give you a general idea as to the "health" of the search criteria.
​ 

4. Within the listing results view, you'll find the alert summary that allows you to view the criteria of the alert that is setup.

5. You can quickly email or text the recent results to your contact. If they ask you to re-send them any recent listings, they should be within the recent results list.

When reviewing your search alert for the contact, you can also edit the criteria. Start by tapping on the edit icon on the upper right.

On this screen you can edit the listing criteria.

There is a specific tool within the search alert edit screen that allows you to configure very specific alert criteria. There are two places where you can set listing options. Standard criteria are in the options list, which we will cover below. If you are looking for a very specific MLS field/criteria, then you can use the "keywords" tool.

Keywords searches the MLS feed to find any matching fields that you know contain a specific setting. You can search to find the specific value you are looking for.

For example, you may be looking for a 'Geothermal' hot water source, per the demands of your client. To access this, you can search for the 'Geothermal' keyword. In this case, I know for this MLS that 'Geothermal' is a value under the field 'Hot Water.' When you are inputting a listing into the MLS, you typically select values from a specific field when filling out the details of the listing.
​ 

After selecting 'Geothermal' the field is automatically populated as well.

Apart from all of your basic price, area, type, sqft criteria, you have a standard options list that contains all of the commonly used criteria for easy access, as opposed to digging through keywords, it  may be faster and easier to just use a standard option where appropriate. Tap on the options space to look for a value.

This shows you a multi-select box for all of the different standard options. Simply check the ones you need.  

Keep in mind, often times selecting too many criteria will return no recent results! When editing an alert always make sure you are seeing recent results in the alert summary. Otherwise your lead won't get any updates, and may end up using another site or service instead of yours! (Recent results are the pictures of listings that are visible after looking at the alerts summary.)
