# Blinq contacts

> Capture, enrich, and organize every connection in Blinq with personal and company contacts, AI enrichment, notes, tags, and exports.

## Overview

Every connection lands in Contacts. Blinq captures the details, enriches them, and keeps them ready to act on.

Contacts can be created several ways:

* **Card exchange:** when a Blinq card is shared, Blinq creates the contact automatically.
* **Scanning:** scan a physical business card, event badge, or QR code using the universal scanner.
* **Shared back:** a new connection fills in their own details through your card link.
* **Manual entry:** add a contact directly from the app or dashboard.

All contacts are personal by default. Contacts captured through a team card are automatically shared with the team and appear as company contacts.

## Company contacts

<Info>
  Contacts created through a team card are automatically shared with your team. No manual sharing required.
</Info>

The **All company contacts** view is a directory of every contact visible to your team workspace. It includes:

* Contacts captured through any team member's Blinq card.
* Personal contacts shared with the workspace.

Blinq integrations export contacts that are visible in **All company contacts**.

## Personal contacts

The **My contacts** view shows all contacts owned by an individual user: ones captured or created manually. Contacts shared with the workspace also remain visible here.

Personal contacts aren't visible to your team, and aren't exported to integrations. You can share a personal contact with your team at any time.

### Sharing a personal contact with your team

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the contact">
    Open the contact you want to share from the contact list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the Share menu">
    On the web dashboard, open the **Share** menu. On mobile, tap **More…**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Share with your company">
    Choose the option to share the contact with your company.
  </Step>
</Steps>

After sharing, the contact appears in **All company contacts** and becomes eligible for integration exports.

## AI contact enrichment

When a new contact lands in Blinq, AI enrichment fills in missing details, allowing for richer context with your connections.

Enrichment requires at least one of: a work email, a full name and company, or a LinkedIn URL. If those details aren't present, Blinq prompts for the missing information before running enrichment.<br /><br />**<u>Blinq checks 25+ live data partners in order of reliability</u>**, with AI search running when the sources don't return a result. Every email is verified before it's saved to the contact. If a detail can't be verified, the field is left blank. All enriched fields remain editable.<br /><br />Enriched details can include: job title, company, LinkedIn profile, profile photo, phone numbers, and verified emails (available on paid plans).

### Disabling AI enrichment

Owners and Admins can turn off AI contact enrichment for the entire workspace:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Settings">
    In the Blinq dashboard, go to **Settings**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the Workspace tab">
    Select the **Workspace** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Scroll to the bottom of the page">
    Scroll down to the enrichment settings.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Toggle off Contact enrichment">
    Toggle off **Contact enrichment**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Contact notes

Notes can be added to any contact from the app or dashboard. Notes sit on the individual contact record and stay visible whenever that contact is opened. When a CRM integration is active, notes export directly to the connected platform.

## Contact tags

<Info>
  Read more about tagging here. [View article →](/features/tags)
</Info>

Tags make it easy to segment, filter, and report on contacts by source or activity.

You can tag contacts at the point of capture or post-capture by editing the contact record.

## Exporting contacts

<Info>
  Only Owners and Admins can view **All company contacts**. Whether team members can export their own contacts is a per-integration setting — see the configuration page for each integration.
</Info>

From **All company contacts**, contacts can be exported as a CSV or pushed to any enabled integration.

**To export:**

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Contacts view">
    In your Blinq Business dashboard, open the **Contacts** view.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select contacts">
    Optionally, select the specific contacts you want to export.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Export contacts">
    Click **Export contacts** in the top right corner.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose your format">
    Choose **Download CSV** or select your integration.
  </Step>
</Steps>

If no contacts are selected, Blinq exports all eligible contacts.

### Sync & Export status

The **Sync & Export** column shows the status and last export timestamp for each enabled integration. Use it to see which contacts have synced and which are still pending.

## Contact preservation

When a team member is removed from the workspace, Blinq keeps the contacts they captured in **All company contacts**. Deleting a team card or member doesn't delete the contacts associated.
