What Are Attributes?

Attributes are additional pieces of information you can add to your contacts to make them more detailed and useful.

For example, an Attribute could be:

• A Birthday
  
   
• A Check-in or Check-out time (common in hospitality)
  
   
• A WhatsApp number
  
   
• An Email address
  
   

The basic format for uploading contacts usually includes just the Name (for personalization) and Phone Number (for sending SMS). But with Attributes, you can include any other information that’s important to your business or messaging strategy.

Steps to Create an Attribute

1. Navigate to the Dashboard
   From your Sendar dashboard, go to the Contacts tab on the left-hand side.
   

Click on Attributes
Inside the Contacts section, click on Attributes.

 

3. Click on Add Attributes
   Whether or not you already have existing attributes, click on Add Attributes.
   

Fill in the Attribute Details
A pop-up window will appear asking for two things:

 

• Attribute Name
  
  
  • Example: "Birthday," "Email Address," or "WhatsApp Number"

• Attribute Type
  
  
  • Choose the type based on what kind of data it is:
    
    
    • Date (e.g. Birthdays)
      
       
    • Word (e.g. Name, Email Address)
      
       
    • Number (e.g. Loyalty Points, Room Number

5. Click Save
   Once you’ve entered the name and selected the type, click "Save."
   Your new Attribute will be created and appear in the list.
   
    

Your saved attribute should appear in the attribute tab
