How to add a few parent contacts manually one-by-one

There are times when you need to add one or two parents into your contacts. Of course, you can use an Excel file to save their contact details first then use the how to add parent contacts from an Excel file process but that is an overkill especially when you only need to add one contact and do it fast.

Login to your Sematime Messaging account, go to 'Contacts' on your menu and click the blue 'Add Contacts' button. The dialog window below will appear on your screen prompting you to choose the Excel file whose contacts you want to add. Disregard the 'Import from Excel option' and click on 'Add manually one by one' as shown in the image below.



Select the group to add the contacts to, or create one if need be, then input the student details and the parents phone number. Continue to add more contacts this way then close the dialog window when you are done.

Sematime does not need you to prefix phone numbers using the country code unless you are saving a non-Kenyan phone number such as +255706129100.
