Add contacts automatically
complete
Bastien
Instead of creating contacts manually one by one, it would be great if Missive had a section to display a list of any e-mail that are in the inbox or sent folders (basically all previous From: or To: e-mails), something like a label "Uncategorized" or "To be sorted".
It would be much quicker to go into this section and go through each e-mail in a list in order to add them, discard them or eventually even blacklist/report them as spam.
Currently, the quickest way to add a contact is to use the sidebar while browsing a conversation, it's a nifty feature but if we want to build our entire contacts book this will be very tedious so there's still room for improvement.
Regarding blacklisting contacts or reporting them as spam, we could also have a label "Blacklisted" so that we can go back into this should we need it.
It could make sense to have a "Discarded" label, which are basically contacts that do not need to be sorted or added into a contact book (i.e: newsletter e-mails).
Finally, a nifty feature with this would be to automatically detect all e-mails from the same domain so when you add bob@mycompany.com in your contact book, Missive could display a prompt along the lines of "7 contacts were detected with e-mails ending with mycompany.com, do you want to add them in the My Company profile?". All contact detected automatically would be removed from the label "To be sorted".

Now possible to do with the “Create contact(s)” rule action

This would be a massive time- and effort-saver function. Because of how Gmail automatically adds a contact once you email them, for months I assumed that Missive would do this as well. I was sad to learn that it currently does not, and that work has to be done manually.
If, as Matt says, this could be achieved through rules, that would be great as well.

I've been using Zapier to automatically add contacts it would be nice if its built in.

Also, adding a rule action for outgoing emails to add all recipients to the contacts list would be awesome, we have to manually do it for every new user and it is tiresome

+1 for me on that, I'd really like to have to auto-create contact function!

A Contacts Plus upgraded Integration could accomplish a lot of this. Perhaps this would be the best foundation for your request.

Brian Davis: Agreed!
