Add your first prospect
Updated 19 October 2026
The Short Answer
Open Prospecting → ⋯ → Add Prospects. Choose from Contacts picks people you already save or chat with; Add Prospect Manually takes a name and a mobile number or email. A phone number lets you message them on WhatsApp; an email lets you email them. Adding someone sends them nothing.
A prospect is someone you've chosen to work — they count toward your plan, and automations can reach them.
How do I add someone by hand?
- In the left rail, open Prospecting.
- Press ⋯, then Add Prospects.
- Choose Add Prospect Manually. They're saved as a contact too.
- Fill in Name, and at least a phone number under Mobile or an email address under Email.
- Press Add Contact. Their profile opens.
Adding several? Press + Add Another Contact under the fields instead. The form clears for the next person and stays open, with everyone you have added listed below it.
If your book is empty, the same choices are in the middle of the Prospecting screen, under Start with what you have.
How do I add people I already chat with?
Prospecting → ⋯ → Add Prospects → Choose from Contacts lists everyone you've saved or chatted with who isn't a prospect yet. Their conversations come with them.
- People you've chatted with come first, newest first. A saved contact you've never written to says No chat yet.
- Search by name, number or message, or narrow it with All, With a Chat or Last 30 Days. Select all takes everyone the filter shows.
- Tick people. The foot counts them against your plan — 4 picked · room for 874 more.
- Press Add 4 Prospects.
The last screen reads 4 Prospects Added — Their conversations came with them. Nothing was sent to anyone. Where some have enough conversation to read, it offers Sync with Chats to fill in their profiles.
Which details actually matter?
Two, and they decide what PropKaki can do for you:
- A phone number — needed to message them on WhatsApp.
- An email address — needed to email them.
With neither, a message to them is held with no phone or email on file. Everything else — what they are looking for, their budget, the property they own — makes the writing better, but you can add it later.
What happens after I add them?
You can write to them immediately. PropKaki drafts from whatever is on their record, so a person with two details gets a shorter, plainer message than one with a full history — and both go out fine. A drafted message costs 1 credit — 2 for a Reply or one written from Give Instructions — and sending it costs 1 more.
Adding someone by hand sends them nothing, raises no New Lead alert and starts no automation. From then on they count toward your plan, and automations and group sends can reach them.
Should I add people one at a time?
By hand is right for a few. Otherwise, the same Add Prospects list has a door for what you already have:
- Choose from Contacts — people you save on WhatsApp or have chatted with.
- Import a Spreadsheet — your client tracker, a CSV, a Meta Lead Ads export.
- Import Chat — a WhatsApp conversation you exported, which brings the person in with the whole chat.
In your Inbox, right-click a conversation and choose Add to Prospects — see Add a chat to your prospects.
