# Contact Submissions

<h2 id="bkmrk-overview">Purpose and when to use this record</h2>

Review and respond to a storefront contact request while retaining its store, sender, subject, and original message.

## At a glance

- **Identify it by:** **Name**, and **Order Number**.

- **Check its business context:** **Store**.

- **Why care:** Store, publication, consent, payment, and fulfillment states affect what customers see and what staff must act on; check the correct store before saving.

## Before you begin

You need the Brisk permission for the action you are taking on contact submissions. If a Create, Edit, or Delete control is absent, do not work around it with another user’s account; ask an administrator to review your role.

<h2 id="bkmrk-detail">Review Contact Submission details</h2>

Use the detail page as the shared record of what this Contact Submission currently means. Verify **Store**, **Name**, **Email**, and **Phone** before relying on it for a decision.

Follow **Store** to determine whether the issue is on this Contact Submission or on one of those linked records.

Next check: Use **Store** to interpret this Contact Submission. If it records a failure or exception, correct the source process and create a new successful event rather than rewriting the audit trail.

Use the Contact Submissions list to find the correct record before opening or changing it. Compare **Name**, and **Order Number**. Records with similar names or numbers can still belong to different **Store**.

- Keyword search checks **Name**, **Email**, **Subject**, **Order Number**, and **Sent To**.

- Narrow the list with **Store** filters.

- The date filter uses **Created At**; choose a range that matches the business event you are reconciling.

- The initial order emphasizes **Created At**. Select a column heading when you need a different comparison.

Open the Contact Submission whose **Name**, and **Order Number** match the task. If it is missing, clear the list filters and recheck **Store**, and **Created At** rather than creating a replacement immediately.

## Common mistakes and troubleshooting

- **The record will not save:** Recheck **Name**, **Email**, and **Message** and any message beside the field. A required related record may also be inactive or unavailable to your role.

- **The values look right but the result is wrong:** Open **Store** from the detail page. Correct the specific relationship that is wrong instead of forcing a total or status to compensate for it.
