Adding contacts to Zentact via Twitter

Zentact lets you add contacts via Twitter. In order to use this, you must have a twitter account on file with us so let’s start there:

  1. Log into Zentact
  2. Click ‘My Account’
  3. Enter your Zentact password into the ‘Password’ text box at the top of the page.
  4. Scroll to the bottom half of the page, enter your Twitter name and password into the ‘Twitter Name’, ‘Account Password’ and ‘Re-type Password’ text boxes. (It has to be your user name, not the email address associated with the account.)
  5. Click ‘Update’. You will see a message confirming your update.
  6. Log into Twitter.
  7. Browse to http://twitter.com/zentact.
  8. Choose ‘follow’.
  9. You will direct message Zentact to add someone. Use the format d zentact @twittername first_name last_name #tag #tag2 tag2 #tag3. E.G. to add me at A Donkey and Goat Winery with the tags syrah, Rhone wines and roussanne, you would tweet d zentact @donkeyandgoat Jared Brandt #syrah #Rhone wines #roussanne

A great guide for those of us who are not savy with Twitter can be found on the Wall Street Journal’sAll Things Digital website under “Birds of a Feather Twitter Together“.
