# Contacts Features

## 📇 Add and Manage Contacts

The Contacts page allows you to build a trusted network of collaborators—whether they’re contractors, clients, or recurring partners.

**Ways to Add a Contact:**

* Enter their email address (connected or not connected to AllScale Pay)
* Add a name, optional note, and label (e.g., “Designer”, “Client - Retainer”)

Each contact entry stores essential details to speed up future transactions.

## ⚡ Quick Actions

Each contact is equipped with action buttons so you can:

* **Send a payment (Coming soon)**
* **Issue an invoice**
* **View past transactions**
* **Edit or delete contact info**

This allows for fast, frictionless workflows when working with your core team or regular payees.
