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.
| Field | What it's for |
|---|---|
| The identifier. Must be unique per tenant. | |
| Name | Used as a personalisation token in campaigns. |
| Company | The organisation they work for. |
| Role / Title | Their job. Useful when targeting by seniority. |
| Source | Where they came in — "Mail Check form", "Imported", "Landing page X", etc. Set automatically when the contact arrives via a form or import. |
| Product interest | Which Blankitt product they're interested in (or your equivalent if you re-skin this for your own brand). |
| Status | One of Lead, Customer, Churned, Unqualified. |
| Lead score | 0–100 — see below. |
| UTM source / medium / campaign | If they came via a tracked link, these are populated. |
| Last event at | The most recent time we saw activity — open, click, form submit, etc. Drives the score's decay clock. |
Statuses
| Status | When to use it |
|---|---|
| Lead | Default. Anyone we have consent to email who isn't a customer yet. |
| Customer | Once they convert. Manual flip for now — sales-system integration is on the roadmap. |
| Churned | Was a customer, now isn't. Keeps them in the database for win-back without polluting your active "leads" count. |
| Unqualified | Explicitly 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 >= 70to 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).
