If you have ever tried to manage your contacts in Excel or Google Sheets, you know how messy it can get. You start with a few names, and before you know it, you have hundreds of rows filled with numbers, emails, and scattered notes.

Or maybe your contacts are spread across emails, your phone, old documents, or social media. It feels like a puzzle with missing pieces.

Monday.com gives you one clean space for everything. It shows your contacts in a clear, friendly layout and helps you see exactly what you need without digging around. Once everything lives in one place, your day feels easier, and your work feels lighter.

Here is why:

  • It keeps everything in one easy view. You can see names, emails, and phone numbers without digging through folders.
  • It connects with other apps you already use, like Gmail, Facebook, or HubSpot.

How to Handle Contact Information on Monday.com

Before you start adding people, it helps to understand how Monday.com stores your contact details. Think of it as a digital notebook. Every person gets their own row, and each column holds something important about them, such as:

  • Name
  • Email
  • Phone number
  • Company name
  • Notes or follow-up reminders

You can add or remove columns based on what you want to track. And if you already have your contacts saved elsewhere, you can use Boost Plugins to transfer your contacts to Monday.com from Excel, Google Sheets, or other tools.

Step 1: Check Your Contact List

If you already have a list of contacts in Excel, give it a quick check before importing.

Look for:

  • Missing emails or names
  • Duplicates
  • Unnecessary columns

You do not have to make it perfect, but cleaning it up a little helps everything import more smoothly. Just make sure your columns have clear labels like “Name” or “Email.”

Step 2: Add Your Contacts to Monday.com in One Click

Now comes the fun part.

With Sync for Xero, you can move your contacts to Monday.com in one simple click. You upload your list, and our system takes care of the rest.

Here is what happens automatically:

  • Your contacts are added to your Monday.com contact database.
  • The columns in your file are matched correctly to your board.
  • Duplicate entries are handled, so you do not have repeats.

You do not need to map anything or click through long setup screens. You just click once and let the system do the heavy lifting.

If something seems unclear, our customer support team is ready to walk you through it in plain English. We take pride in helping you get it right the first time.

You can:

  • Sort contacts by company, location, or status
  • Add notes about conversations
  • Connect people to projects or deals
  • Tag leads or existing customers

Now that your contacts are ready, you can make Monday.com work even harder for you.

Set up automations that:

  • Notify you when new contacts are added

  • Link contacts to deals or emails automatically

The best part is that Boost Plugins makes these automations easy to set up. And if you do not feel confident, our team can guide you step by step.

Step 5: Keep Adding Contacts Easily

Once your first import is done, adding new contacts becomes second nature.

You can:

  • Add contacts manually by clicking “Add item” and typing in their details
  • Use a Monday form to let others submit contact info directly to your board
  • Connect other apps like Facebook, HubSpot, or Salesforce, so new leads appear automatically

If you ever wondered how to add contacts to Monday.com, this is the answer. You can do it by hand or let Boost Plugins handle it for you. Either way, your contacts stay organized without you lifting a finger.
