CiviCRM offers multiple ways to add contacts.
- Quick Add: Individual
Enter either a first name and last name or an email to quickly create a contact without filling out additional information. This is accessible from the New Individual box on every CiviCRM screen.
- Create Contact
Provides an interface for filling out the main contact fields (name, etc.) and location information (addresses, emails, phones, etc.).
- Import Contacts
This wizard based interface requires you to create a csv file and map your CiviCRM fields to the csv columns.
- Application Programming Interface
CiviCRM provides an API so that other applications can create contacts with whatever information is available.
