{% embed url="<https://salesrook.clarityflow.com/c/53a16dc631e47fbc37d8210c3>" %}

### Step 1: Navigate to Contacts

1. **Go to the Contacts Tab**: From the SalesRook dashboard, click on the **Contacts** tab to access your list of contacts.
2. **Select the Contact**: Locate the contact you want to assign and click on their profile (e.g., **SarahTest**).

### Step 2: Assign a User to the Contact

1. **View the Current Owner**: In the center of the screen, you will see the **Owner** field, showing the current team member assigned to the contact (e.g., Sarah).
2. **Unassign the Current Owner**: If you need to change the assignment, click on **Unassign Owner** to remove the current user.
3. **Select a New User**: From the dropdown menu, choose the team member you want to assign the contact to.
4. **Save Changes**: The new user will now be assigned to this contact.

### Step 3: Add Followers to a Contact (Optional)

1. **Add Followers**: Followers are team members who need to be aware of the contact’s progress but aren’t responsible for managing the contact.
2. **Click the Plus Sign**: In the **Followers** section, click the **plus sign** to add a new follower.
3. **Select a User**: Choose the user you want to add as a follower from the dropdown menu.

### Step 4: Assign a User from Conversations (Alternative Method)

1. **Go to Conversations**: Navigate to the **Conversations** tab and find the relevant conversation with the contact.
2. **Change the Owner**: On the right-hand side of the screen, you’ll see the **Owner** field. Click **Unassign** and select the new owner from the dropdown menu.

### Step 5: Automate Contact Assignment (Optional)

* If you want contacts to be automatically assigned to a specific team member, contact SalesRook support, and we can set this up through automation.
