Short answer

How do I get my AI to add new contacts to Missive?

Your AI scans your chat history for names and details, then uses Missive tools to build your contact list. You'll get a populated Missive book without manual typing.

Where your data lands.

The outcomes of contact syncing.

The AI moves information from your conversations directly into your Missive workspace.

AUTOMATED

New contact created

The AI identifies a new person in a chat and adds them to your list immediately. You get a fresh entry in Missive without typing a single letter.

VERIFIED

Existing contact found

The AI checks your current Missive book to see if a person already exists. This prevents duplicate entries in your database.

HUMAN

Review needed

If the chat history is messy or missing a name, the AI will ask you to confirm the details. You stay in control of what actually gets saved.

SYNCED

Contact list updated

Your Missive contact book stays current with every new conversation. You'll have an accurate list of everyone you've spoken to.
