Filtering contacts in your account

  • Log into your Zeffy dashboard on a computer.
  • Click on "Contacts" in the menu bar on the left-hand side

  • You will have a list of pre-set filters at the top with more advanced filters under the "+ Filter" option. Below is an explanation of the filters and how they work.

πŸ” Search bar: The search bar on the contact page can be used to search for different aspects of of your contact records. You can search by:

  • Name
  • Last Name
  • Email
  • Company Name

When typing in your search term, any contact whose name, last name, email or company name matches the search term will be shown. 

πŸ“ Completed Form - Filter for contacts that completed one or multiple forms in your account.

🏷️ Tags - Filter for contacts that are tagged with a specific tag. You can find more information on how to assign and manage tags here

πŸ“ž Contact types - Filter for specific contact types. The contact types are automatically determined based on the transactions processed through your form.  

There are six categories:

  1. Monthly (Donors who have set up monthly donations)
  2. Members (Donors who have purchase a membership)
  3. Yearly (Donors who have set up annual donations)
  4. Returning (Donors who have completed at least two donations)
  5. One-time (One-time donors)
  6. No payment

The contact type is assigned automatically by the system. It cannot be changed manually. The assigned type is determined by interactions the contact has had with forms (e.g. membership purchased = member, monthly donation started = monthly donor, second one-time payment = recurring)

πŸ“… Last Transaction - Filter for contacts who made their most recent transaction in your account before, after, between, or on date X.
