Why contact details matter
Accurate contact details allow you to:
-

Contact information fields
Below are the primary contact detail fields you’ll see inside a contact record.
Age
The Age field reflects the contact’s age.
This information may come from:
-
Skip tracing results
-
Manual user input
This provides additional context that may help with segmentation and outreach strategies.
Created date
The Created Date shows when the contact was first created in Invelo.
You can use this to:
-
Filter newly added contacts
-
Track database growth
-
Identify older records that may need re-engagement
This field is automatically generated and cannot be edited.
Created by
The Created By field identifies which user on your account created the contact record.
This helps with:
-
Team accountability
-
Performance tracking
-
Understanding who initiated the lead entry
Creator type
Creator Type shows how the contact entered Invelo.
Examples include:
-

Other system-generated methods
This allows you to filter contacts by how they were imported into your system.
Source

For example:
-
If imported from Invelo’s List Builder, the source will appear as Invelo.

Unlike Creator Type, the Source field can be manually edited to reflect your true marketing channel.
Keeping this accurate allows you to measure which marketing channels are generating the best results.
Last skip traced
