Clients
- What the Clients section is and where to find it
- How clients are created in AutoTalk (manually and automatically)
- How client records connect to conversations, events, and other features
The Clients section is your customer database inside AutoTalk. Every person who interacts with your business -- whether they send a WhatsApp message, book an appointment, or are added manually -- is stored as a client record. You can view, organize, and manage all of your clients from one central list.
Where to find clients
Navigate to Empresa > Clientes in the sidebar menu. This opens the Clientes page, which displays your full client list. The page URL follows the pattern /dashboard/{employeeId}/dynadata/list/clients.
At the top of the Clientes page, you will find:
- Back button — Returns you to the previous page
- Bulk Update button — Allows you to apply changes to multiple clients at once
- Filter button — Opens filtering options to narrow down the list by tags, attributes, or other criteria
- "Add new clients" button — Creates a new client record manually
How clients are created
Clients enter your database in three ways:
- Automatically from messaging channels — When someone sends a message through a connected channel (WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, etc.), AutoTalk automatically creates a client record using their display name, phone number, or social profile information.
- Manually from the Clientes page — Click the "Add new clients" button on the Clientes list page and fill in the client's details.
- Inline from a conversation — When starting a new conversation, you can create a new client on the fly by clicking the + button in the conversation creation dialog. This is useful when you are about to message someone who is not yet in your database.
What you can do with clients
- View and edit profiles — Each client has a detailed profile with contact information, tags, custom attributes, and history
- Organize with tags and categories — Label clients with tags such as "VIP," "New," or "Follow-up needed" to segment and filter your client base
- Add custom attributes — Store business-specific data beyond the standard fields, such as membership tier, preferred service, or insurance number
- Track conversation history — See every message exchanged with the client across all connected channels
- Track appointment history — View past and upcoming events linked to the client from the calendar
- Apply bulk updates — Select multiple clients and update them at the same time
- Filter and search — Use the Filter button to find clients matching specific criteria
- Configure per-client options — Control settings like whether the AI bot responds to a specific client
Use the Filter button on the Clientes page frequently. As your client base grows, filters help you quickly find the clients you need -- whether you are looking for clients with a specific tag, clients who have not been contacted recently, or clients in a particular category.
