   Important

   • A phone number or email address is required. Each phone number and email address must be unique to a single contact.

   • This version of the Contacts feature does not support creating DingTalk chatbots. If you need to create a DingTalk chatbot, go to the DingTalk/Lark/WeCom tab. For more information, see DingTalk chatbot. Existing DingTalk chatbots created with a previous version are not affected.
