Contact Attributes are pieces of information stored with the Contact such as Contact Name, Email Address, Phone Number, Country, Language and more which act as identifiers. These are all Default Contact Attributes. Apart from this, you can create additional Custom Contact Attributes to gather or store information about your Contacts. These Attributes help in making your Contact information rich and work as filters for Responses and Reports.
