# Interactions

**Interactions**is a view of the [Timeline](/v1/docs/timeline-overview) that returns one row per interaction.

An interaction is defined as a non-system outreach event; that is, an interaction made directly by a Slate user, as opposed to an automated communication, which would be collected in [Activities](/v1/docs/activities).

## Adding a new interaction

Interactions appear automatically when you reach out to a constituent using one of the built-in Slate communication methods, like [email](/v1/docs/email), [SMS](/v1/docs/sms), [voice](/v1/docs/slate-voice-overview), or [print](/v1/docs/slate-print-overview).

If you want to add an interaction manually:

1. Select **New Interaction.**
2. Configure the following settings:
  - **User:**Defaults to the current user, but can be changed.
  - **Code:**Select an interaction code. You can create [custom interaction codes](/v1/docs/custom-interactions).
  - **Subcode:**Select an interaction subcode.
  - **Date:**Select a date and time at which the interaction occurred.
  - **Apply to:**Select relations of the record to which this interaction should also apply.
  - **Attach:**Attach any relevant files to the interaction.
    - > [!WARNING]
> **🏗️ This feature is not currently accessible.** Keep up with the latest Summit feature releases in [What’s New](https://community.technolutions.net/whats-new).
  - **Subject:**Enter a subject line to appear on the Timeline.
