Why am I not seeing contacts yet?

Contacts don't appear instantly. Here's what to check if you're not seeing any yet.


Check your setup

Make sure:

  • Your script is installed and active on your site

  • Your email platform is connected

  • Your setup is fully completed


Check your traffic

Contacts are identified from your website visitors.

If your site has low traffic, it may take longer for contacts to appear.


What to expect

  • Contacts may not appear immediately

  • It can take time for visitors to return and be identified

  • New contacts will continue to be added over time

  • Volume may vary day to day


Where to look

You can check for contacts in two places:

  • Your Retention.com Home Page — just below the graph, you'll see a list of identified contacts with their email address and the first page they visited

  • Your email platform — check for newly added or recently synced contacts in the list or segment you selected during setup


Still not seeing contacts?

If everything is set up correctly, give it a bit more time as your site continues to receive traffic.
