How to Create an External Contact

External contacts on Handshake are teammates or other individuals from your company that represent your organisation and can serve as the focal point of information concerning an activity, such as a job or event. 

To create an external contact, follow the steps below: 

1. Click on Contacts on the left navigation bar, then click on Add Contact in the upper-right corner of the page. 

2. Fill out the necessary information for this contact and click on Create Contact when finished. Please note that fields marked with an asterisk* are required.

• *Email address
• *First name
• *Location 

Once the contact is created, the contact will be added to your company's contacts list on Handshake.

Note: this does not create a Handshake account for a teammate who does not have a user account on Handshake. It will only store their contact information within the system, enabling them to receive information, including attachments as it relates to the activity via email.
