Type the filter has five options: "Member", "Employee", "Potential Member", "Corporate Sub-Member" and "Corporate Member".

Or if you need to get the contacts that have been created on 31st August 2020, you should set the Created On filter as 2020-08-31 and choose "IS" on Created On Filter Type the filter.

Use Contacts action

Raklet has three events on Contacts action:

  • Create Contact

  • Add Note To Contact

  • Add Tag To Contact

If you want to create a contact on your Raklet account, you should use the "Create Contact" event. You can set your new contact's Email Address, First Name, Last Name, Maiden Name, Member No, Corporate Name, Birth Place, Blood Type, Phone Country Code, Phone Number, Title, Address Details, Address City, Address Country, Address Postal Code, Contact Type, Gender, Marital Status, and Contact Status fields.

The "Add Note To Contact" event allows you to add a note to one of your contacts which can be specified by email address.

The "Add Tag To Contact" event does the same for tags, instead of notes. If the given tag has not been created before on Raklet, it will be created instantly and the specified contact will be tagged with this new tag. If a tag already exists, a new tag will not be created. The contact will be tagged with the existing tag instead.
