The Client Card
The system allows you to keep track of all your client's information and communication history in one place.
Your client's information is saved on a Client Card within your account. You can customize the client card, and decide what information you'd like to save about your clients.
Client Cards are created automatically with each new client that you add (or import) in the Clients tab of your Thryv.
You can also request clients to provide you with specific information when they contact you by customizing your Thryv intake form. That information will also be saved on each individual client card.
You can update existing client information or add new information as needed, including private notes and tags, for future reference and quick recap.
To view your contacts, click the Clients menu on the left navigation pane. Search and find a specific client to view their client card.

You can customize your Client Card to include specific fields and information that you would like to collect from your clients. To get started, navigate to Settings > Client Card & Forms.
The Email, First Name, and Last Name fields are set up in advance and are required by default.
You can add additional fields to support your specific needs.
