A new contact email or voice interaction
Prerequisites: External Contacts > Identify > Promote permission
SCV captures identifier information and displays it in the Suggestion box.
Because the identifier information does not include the contact’s name, SCV displays No Name above the identifier.
With an outbound email interaction, the name can be undefined.
With an inbound email interaction, SCV can detect and populate the name in the Suggestion box.
To create a new contact, click Add to Contacts.

Voice interaction

A web messaging interaction
A web messaging interaction may not have a related email address or phone number. SCV uses a web ID to create a temporary or ephemeral contact.
Because the identifier information does not include the contact’s name, SCV does not display a name, and then saves the web ID with the ephemeral contact. The web ID does not appear.
To save the contact, click Add to contacts. Then, enter the customer’s information and click Save.
Note: You must enter the first and last names.
