As an agent, you can use the Lookup and Verify feature to search for consumers and contacts. After verifying a customer's information, you can populate that information on the interaction record.

3. In the Interactions section, select My Interactions.
4. Open an email interaction.
5. In the contextual side panel, select the Consumer Verify icon (![Consumer Verify icon]()) or the Contact Verify icon (![Contact Verify icon]()).
6. Enter name, phone number, email address, or record number to search for a consumer or contact.
7. If you can't locate the consumer or contact and choose to create a record, select Create Consumer or Create Contact.  
   The system displays the Create Consumer or Create Contact form in the contextual side panel.
8. Add information to the fields on the form and select  Create.

## Result
