Summary
This article will explain how to set the media contact preference for a customer when sending them actions from the " Retention Centre".
More Information
The " Retention Centre" is a hub to automate and simplify regular actions required to maintain good customer relations. As such you can specify how you contact the customer whether it be by email, SMS or via regular letter.

It is possible to Configure Retention Media Preference for an action in the " Retention Centre" which works as a default, but it can be overwritten for customers on an individual basis.

- Click [Edit] or press <F5> to edit the Customer.
- Click on the [Attributes] tab.

- Then double click on either:
- 'Contact Preference Email' - If the customer preference is for Email.
- 'Contact Preference Mail' - If the customer preference is for Letter.
- 'Contact Preference SMS' - If the customer preference is for SMS.
- Then double click on either:
- Press <Esc> or click [Done].
