Contacts, statuses, and lead score

A contact is one person you have permission to market to. Open Audience → Contacts to see the full list.

What's on a contact

Every contact has the following fields. Most are optional — only email is required.

FieldWhat it's for
EmailThe identifier. Must be unique per tenant.
NameUsed as a personalisation token in campaigns.
CompanyThe organisation they work for.
Role / TitleTheir job. Useful when targeting by seniority.
SourceWhere they came in — "Mail Check form", "Imported", "Landing page X", etc. Set automatically when the contact arrives via a form or import.
Product interestWhich Blankitt product they're interested in (or your equivalent if you re-skin this for your own brand).
StatusOne of Lead, Customer, Churned, Unqualified.
Lead score0–100 — see below.
UTM source / medium / campaignIf they came via a tracked link, these are populated.
Last event atThe most recent time we saw activity — open, click, form submit, etc. Drives the score's decay clock.

Statuses

StatusWhen to use it
LeadDefault. Anyone we have consent to email who isn't a customer yet.
CustomerOnce they convert. Manual flip for now — sales-system integration is on the roadmap.
ChurnedWas a customer, now isn't. Keeps them in the database for win-back without polluting your active "leads" count.
UnqualifiedExplicitly not a fit (wrong industry, wrong region, etc.). Excluded from "all contacts" sends by default.

Lead score

The score is a single 0–100 number that summarises engagement. It goes up when a contact does something positive and decays when they do nothing for a long time.

Roughly:

  • +10 for opening an email
  • +20 for clicking a link
  • +30 for submitting a form
  • +5 for being identified via Mail Check on a domain you own
  • −1 per week of inactivity (decay starts after 30 days of silence)

You don't tune the formula — it's a sensible default. What you do with it is target:

  • Sort the contacts table by lead score, desc, to find your hottest leads.
  • Build a dynamic audience filter lead score >= 70 to spin up an "engaged leads" segment.

Edit, archive, delete

Open any contact to edit them, archive them (hides from default views but keeps the row for analytics), or delete them entirely (irreversible — only do this on request to honour a privacy ask).
