Click Add Person. Choose Add Person for one person with details. Type their first name. And their last name — that's all that's required. Add an email and phone if you have them. Set their gender and status — new people start as Visitor, change that any time. Already know their family? Pick it here. Leave "Send a welcome email" checked and TimelyChurch emails them a link to get started — including one-tap Telegram sign-up. Leave "Open profile after saving" checked too, and it'll take you straight to their new profile. Click Save Person. And they're in your people list, ready for whatever else you want to add.
