How to use Mixmax Contacts

This article describes how to add contacts to the Mixmax Contacts page and filter them by Salesforce Account and engagement score.

With the new Mixmax Contacts page, you can prioritize your time on highly engaged contacts. Filter your contacts by engagement with one click and target the most engaged contacts first.

The Mixmax Sidebar, with all the details for each contact, is also just a click away.

Contacts general view

Here is how our new Contacts page works:

Adding contacts

New contacts are added automatically once you start communicating with them via email.

If Salesforce is connected to your Mixmax account and a Contact/Lead with this email address already exists in Salesforce, the new contact will appear on the Contacts page with a cloud icon and the Name, Title, and Account details from Salesforce. If you use data providers like ZoomInfo, LeadIQ, Clearbit, Cognism, or Lusha, any contacts that you push from these into Salesforce can also be synced to Mixmax from Salesforce.

If Salesforce isn't connected or a Contact/Lead isn't found, only the contact's email address will appear on the Contacts page without the cloud icon.

To see a new contact added, follow these steps:

  1. Send an email or a meeting invite to a recipient (ensure the email address is not part of the Exclusions list, and it is synced to Mixmax (please keep in mind the Sequence settings)).

  2. Check the Contacts page (you might need to refresh it): your new contact will appear there automatically.

When you open the Contacts page, only some of the contacts (those you interacted with in the last 4 weeks) are displayed by default. To view more contacts, click Load more at the bottom of the page:

Engagement score

The Engagement score column shows each contact's level of engagement. Here is what each score means:

  • Highly engaged: The contact either opened your emails at least 3 times or opened them at least once, followed by one of these activities:

    • Clicked

    • Downloaded

    • Replied

    • Voted in a poll/survey

    • Accepted a meeting invite

  • Engaged: The contact opened your emails at least once.

  • Previously engaged: The contact was previously Engaged or Highly engaged but has no activity in the past 2 weeks.

  • Not engaged: The contact hasn't interacted with you yet.

Example: You send an email to Contact X (who already exists in Salesforce). Contact X will then be added to the Contacts page with their Name, Title, Account, and score Not engaged. Next, Contact X opens your email without replying. The contact's score will change to Engaged.

Let's say Contact X replies to you next, and then you write to them again. As a result, the contact's score will change to Highly engaged.

If 2 weeks pass after that without any new interactions with Contact X, their score will change to Previously engaged.

When you open the Contacts page, you see Highly engaged contacts by default. To switch to a different view, simply select another option from the Engagement drop-down menu:

Filtering contacts by engagement

By default, contacts are sorted by engagement first, from Highly engaged to Not engaged, then by Last touchpoint date, with the most recent contact first. You can always easily find the Highly engaged contacts to act on them - they will be at the top of the list.

Keep in mind that currently, there are certain limitations for Outlook users:

When an email has multiple recipients, all of the Opened and Clicked activity will appear related to the first recipient in the To field, even if that recipient is not the one who actually opened the email. This means the Engagement score for Outlook users might not reflect the actual data.

For example, you send an email to contacts A, B, and C. Contact A is the first recipient in the To field, but contact A didn't open the email, while contact B opened it five times.

This activity will be tracked only for contact A because this contact is the first recipient in the To field. As a result, contact A will be flagged as Highly engaged, and contact B may not be flagged as Highly engaged even though this recipient is the one who actually opened the email 5 times.


Last touchpoint

To get more context on your interactions and better decide how to keep engaging with your contacts, check out the Last touchpoint column.

Last touchpoint

You will see the latest email activity for the contact and how long ago it occurred.

For now, calls are not detected by the Contacts page.


Filtering by Account

You can easily filter for contacts that belong to a particular Salesforce Account. To filter contacts by Account, start typing in the Account field at the top of the page, then select the required Account from the automatically populated list.

You will see all contacts assigned to the selected Account.

Filter by Account

To reset the Account filter, click the X icon, as shown below:

Clear Account filter

You can also click Clear filters to reset all filters at once.


Touched by filter (for Mixmax admins)

Mixmax admins can also filter the contacts by the user who contacted them. The Touched by filter is displayed only for Mixmax admins.

Using this filter, an SDR Manager can review contacts touched by a specific SDR to support coaching and collaboration.

Users without the Admin role in Mixmax will not see the Touched by filter. By default, they will only see their own contacts on the Contacts page.

Searching for a contact

You can search for a specific contact by their name or email address. Start typing in the search bar in the top right corner of the Contacts page, and you will see an automatically populated list of matching contacts.

The Unsubscribed list of contacts is now available on the Sequences page. To learn more, see How to manage your Unsubscribed list.


Mixmax Sidebar on the Contacts page

Besides quickly finding the most or least engaged contacts, you can also view contextual information about a specific contact and take quick actions, such as sending an email or making a call. Simply click a contact to open the Mixmax Sidebar:

On the Contacts page, like in many other places around the Mixmax web app, you can access the People section of the Sidebar. For more details, see the Mixmax Sidebar overview.


FAQ

How do I add follow-up notes to a contact?

Create a To-do task for the contact. On the Tasks page, click New task > To-do, select the contact in the Name field, add your notes under Task comments, and set a due date for your follow-up. To learn more, see Tasks in Mixmax.

If Salesforce is connected, you can also create a Salesforce task from the Salesforce tab in the contact's Sidebar: under Open tasks, click New.
