Improvements to Contact Bulk Actions
under review
Gerardo Salandra
We will be adding support for more bulk actions, and also increasing the number of contacts that the bulk action applies to.
Improvement 1:
Allow Bulk Action on All Contacts from the Filter (not only 100 at a time)
Improvement 2:
The following additional Bulk Actions will be added.
- Assign contact to a user
- Change custom field
- Open/close conversations
- Bulk Delete Contacts
- Bulk Trigger Workflow

It would really help to be able to select more than just 100 contacts at a time! We have almost 2000 contacts so it's really a time waste having to do the tasks 20x instead of once.

Hi Alex See, you're able to bulk delete contacts by multi-selecting them in the checkboxes and clicking on the Delete button.
Or do you mean to be able to delete contacts from a tag or segment? If so, we have a feature request that you can refer to here: https://respond.canny.io/feature-request/p/contacts-delete-all-contacts-in-a-tag-or-segment

Yihui Chan: Hi Yihui Chan my organization is ShareChat and I also need bulk delete contacts. I can't access the link mentioned above since I am not the member of that community.
Please give me a link which I can refer and access.

Swetha V How many contacts do you plan to delete? Currently we allow up to 500 contacts to be deleted at a time.

There should be an option to select multiple contacts for:
1) Delete tag - deletes tag from all the contacts if it does exist
2) Set field - updates field for all the contacts (including custom fields)
For (2) you can export CSV and Import as workaround, but it's not easy

also I need that if I upload contact with same mobile number it should merged as one & new tag should be added in same contact, that will be better to interact with clients. Currently it creating duplicate contact with two diff tags

Hi Respond Ostengo, Just want to understand your use case here, do you use Workflows to assign Contacts to the online users? Can you share with us share that in what scenario you will need to do mass assignments?😊

Contacts are automatically deleted on a specific date:
Example:
I schedule for February 1, 2022 to delete 500 contacts (from December 1, 2021 to January 1, 2022).
