Add a contact

Whether it's from your contacts, text, a business card, or in the Quin app, adding a new contact is quick and easy.

Add a person in the app

From your dashboard, click the Person icon at the top of your screen or start typing their name in the search field and select “+ Add”. From there, you’ll be prompted with a few questions that help Quin determine the best gesture recommendations. You can also upload a spreadsheet (CSV) with name, email, interests, and any other details you have about each person.

How it works:

  1. Add or confirm their name
  2. Add their email
  3. Include personal details such as interests, hobbies, work and family life
  4. Select the Space you'd like to add them to

Adding personal details

In order for Quin to provide the best suggestions, it needs to know as much detail as possible — particularly about a person’s interests and hobbies. We recommend including at least three things to make it a more well rounded suggestion list, however Quin is also able to provide suggested based on a single interest. In short, the more you give, the more you get.

What doesn’t matter as much is the style in which you include details. You can use complete sentences or simply add a string of keywords. How you choose to inform Quin is up to you, but the core keywords will be the most important.

Add a person via text

Adding a person via text is similar to how you would in-app, but there will be more of a back-and-forth exchange. We find it easiest to add all the details upfront to lessen the messages, however if Quin needs more information from you — it will ask.

Add a person via LinkedIn Profile

You can easily add a person to Quin by sharing their LinkedIn profile URL. Here's how:

  1. Copy the full URL of their LinkedIn profile.
  2. Text or email their LinkedIn profile to Quin.
  3. Quin will then use the information from the LinkedIn profile to add the person and start providing personalized suggestions for them.

You can also add a LinkedIn URL to someone’s profile if they are already in Quin. The key advantage of adding a person via their LinkedIn profile is that Quin can leverage the rich information available on LinkedIn - such as their interests, experiences, and connections - to deliver even more tailored suggestions.

Share contacts from your iPhone

Leverage your iPhone's native "Share Contact" feature to quickly add new connections to Quin. It's a seamless way to keep your professional circle up-to-date without the hassle of manual entry.

How it works:

3. Select Quin
4. Hit Send
