An email contact (also referred to as "manual connection") is a connection that you have created yourself for another company that is not on the Tradeshift network by adding their email address to your network. You can exchange documents with an email contact, but other functionalities of Tradeshift are much more limited.

You also have the option of entirely removing an email contact from your network. Follow the steps below to modify or delete an email contact.
