Any person who interacts with your business can be saved as a contact in SleekFlow, such as a potential customer messaging you on WhatsApp, a person who clicks on your Facebook Lead Ad, or a visitor who signs up on your website. You can manage all of these contacts in the "Contacts" page in SleekFlow.
