Archive contacts

Tidy up Contacts by archiving the people you no longer need to see, one at a time or many at once, and bring them back whenever you like.

What shipped

  • Active and Archived tabs in Contacts.
  • Archive or restore from a contact's profile, or tick several rows, or all of them, and act on them at once. Undo is one click away.
  • Archiving only hides the contact from the list. Their conversations and subscriptions are untouched, and they can still sign in.
  • Also in the API and MCP: GET /v1/contacts and /v1/contacts/{email}, POST /v1/contacts/archive and /v1/contacts/restore, and the set_contact_archived platform tool.
