We are excited to announce the release of archiving contacts in eduCRM.
This new feature provides a more flexible way to manage your contact database, eliminating the need to delete a contact permanently.
Archived contacts are retained for one year and do not count toward your billable contact limits, giving you better control over contact management and billing compliance.
Key Features
Archive contacts
Move contacts such as Encoura prospects to an archived state, removing them from your active contact count.
Restoration
Restore archived contacts to active status (subject to a 30-day restriction).
Bulk action
Archive up to 100 contacts per page, matching the current delete functionality.
Retention Period
eduCRM automatically and permanently deletes archived contacts after one year.
Benefits
Improved contacts management
Safely remove contacts from your active list without permanently deleting them. This preserves the data and provides an option for recovery.
Maintain billing control
Archived contacts do not count as billable contacts toward your contract, helping you manage costs and stay within your plan's contact limits.
Streamlined compliance
The automated cleanup process, which occurs every year, helps maintain database hygiene and ensures compliance with data retention practices.
Upgrade and/or Setup Instructions
No upgrade or setup is required. The "Archive" button will appear alongside existing options in your Contacts interface.
