📘 Screen: Contact
It is the system's address book: phone numbers, e-mails, WhatsApp numbers and WhatsApp groups that upCampo sends messages to. The "Season Operations 2026" group, the consulting agronomist's WhatsApp, the accounting firm's e-mail: each one becomes a contact, and then you just choose it on the Notification screen.
A contact is not a user. A user logs in to the system; a contact only receives messages. The consultant who follows the crop without using upCampo is a contact.

💬 WhatsApp groups and the Get group ID button
A WhatsApp group is not identified by a number: it has its own identifier, which nobody types from memory. That is why, when you choose the WhatsApp Group type, the Get group ID button appears: it lists the groups the upCampo WhatsApp number has already been added to, and the group you choose fills in the field automatically.
So the order is:
- Add the upCampo WhatsApp number to the group, from your own phone
- On this screen, choose the WhatsApp Group type
- Click Get group ID and select the group in the list
- Save
Once that is done, the group appears as a destination on the Notification screen: that is how a notice reaches the whole crew at once.
- The notice goes to the operations group, not to each person one by one
- People who do not use the system (consultant, accountant, carrier) still get notified
- Destinations are stored, without depending on someone's phone contacts
❓ Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a contact and a user?
A user has a login and enters the system; a contact only receives messages. If the person needs to enter something, register them as a user. If they only need to be notified, a contact is enough.
How do I send a notice to a WhatsApp group?
First add the upCampo WhatsApp number to the group. Then, on this screen, create a contact of the WhatsApp Group type and use the Get group ID button to choose the group from the list. Once the contact is saved, it appears as a destination on the Notification screen.
The group does not appear in the Get group ID list. Why?
Because the upCampo WhatsApp number has not been added to it yet. Only groups that number is already in appear: add it from your phone and try again.
