Exporting contact groups lets you download the contacts from one or more groups as a file for reporting, backups, or sharing, by selecting the group in Contacts, using the Export option from the group menu, and then downloading the generated file from Notifications once it’s ready.
Viewing the History of Messages, Flows, and Events for a Contact
The Message History page on a contact record lets you review everything that happened for that contact in your workspace—messages sent and received, flow starts/completions/interruptions, and key updates like field or group changes—so you can understand context, confirm what ran, and troubleshoot issues like why a flow started or whether an update occurred.
Organizing the Display of “Featured” Fields on the Contacts Page
Featured contact fields can appear as columns on the Contacts page, and you can control their left-to-right order by opening Contacts → Fields and dragging featured fields within the Featured section so the Contacts list shows the most important columns first.
Sorting Contacts by Field Column
You can sort the Contacts list by any Featured field that appears as a column by clicking its column header to toggle ascending and descending order, which makes it easy to quickly organize contacts by values like Age or Created On—while keeping in mind that correct sorting depends on the field type (Number vs Date & Time vs Text).
Locating Dependencies: Where are my Contact Fields Used?
RapidPro.app lets you check where a contact field is referenced across your workspace (for example, which flows use it), which is helpful before renaming or changing a field, cleaning up old logic, or troubleshooting unexpected behavior linked to that field.
Bulk Deleting Contacts from Blocked or Stopped Folders
RapidPro.app lets you permanently delete selected contacts directly from the Blocked or Stopped folders (without archiving first), which is useful for targeted cleanup of spam/abuse or opted-out contacts—but deletion is irreversible, so you should carefully review selections and use Archived + Delete All for large-scale, reviewable deletions.
