1.Go to CMS Desk -> On-line marketing -> Contacts.

2.Edit (Edit) a specific contact.

3.Open the Data.com tab.

 

Entering the Data.com credentials

 

When opening the Data.com tab for the first time, you need to enter the credentials of a valid Data.com account. The system uses the account to communicate with the Data.com service.

The duration of the Data.com authentication is unlimited. The system stores the Data.com credentials in the settings of your user account (the password is encrypted). You can now access the Data.com tab without authenticating for both contacts and accounts.

 

If you need to change your Data.com account:

 

1.Open the Data.com tab (either in the contact or account interface).

2.Click OnSiteSignOut Log out from Data.com.

3.Fill in the authentication form with the e-mail address and password of the new Data.com account.

4.Click Login.

Searching for contacts

 

Once your user account has valid Data.com credentials, the Data.com tab automatically searches the Data.com directory for the given contact. The integration tool makes its best effort to find the correct contact or at least narrow the search down as much as possible, saving you time compared with doing a manual search.

Note

 

The Data.com search uses the following contact attributes:

 

First name

Last name

Company

E-mail

 

There are several possible results of the search.

 

An exact match is found for the contact

 

When the system finds an exact match for the selected contact, a comparison page opens. You can view the data of the Kentico CMS contact side-by-side with the information from the Data.com directory.

Note

 

If you can't see the Business phone and E-mail values of the found contact, then your Data.com account doesn't own the given contact. You can buy the contact to view the values.

 

 

Updating contact information

 

To update the contact's data using the Data.com information:

 

1.Check the boxes next to the fields that you want to update.

2.Click Save Apply.

 

The updated data is immediately visible in the You have column. You can also switch to the General tab to view the contact's full information.

 

Too many matches are found

 

If the contact's search criteria are too general, the query can yield more than one result in the Data.com directory. For example, if you search for a contact with a commonly used name.

 

In these cases, you need to manually find the matching contact.

 

1. Click SearchArrow Search.
