Features explained
Private and public sources
The difference between the two source types and when to use each.
Every source is either private or public. The Sources list shows which in its Status column.
| Private (default) | Public | |
|---|---|---|
| Who can add contacts | Only you (by hand, import or website form) | You, and other Miaalo users who join it themselves |
| Shown on your public link | No | Yes |
| Good for | Enquiries, walk-ins, event visitors, imports | Lists people sign up for, such as updates or offers |
How joining a public source works
- You share your public link (find it on your Profile page).
- A person who has a Miaalo account opens the link, ticks the lists they want and saves.
- They appear in those sources as a contact, using the name, phone number and email from their Miaalo profile.
They can leave again at any time from their own Subscriptions page.
Changing the type
On the Sources list, click Edit, choose Private or Public, and save. Contacts already in the source stay where they are.
Not sure? Choose Private. Most businesses never need a public source.
