Hello,

I would like to create an action button on Campaign on mobile for "Create Contact"  I am working for a non-profit, where there is no requirement for creating Lead or converting lead process. This non-profit has is a contact, with status (Supporter, Inactive).
During an event or in campaign need to create contact from campaign page.

(2) is there a way to add contact and also attach to campaign in action button
    note I have 2 campaign record types

Thanks Mahesh for the response. I am pretty sure I need to create new action on Campaign becasue I want to show Action button on Campaign layout. But while creating Campaign Actions -> Target object  do not have "Contact"   
I want to create Action Button on Campaign Page to Create a Record  Contact

I am able to successufly create another action button on Campaign "Add Member" and is working.

Did you try with Action Type to Custom Visualforce Page and in the VF page navigate it to standard Contact creation page.

Make sure that VF page is enabled "Available for Salesforce mobile apps and Lightning Pages".

Thanks for prompt reponse. Is there is tutorial I can look at. 
I create a custom button, on campaign  to create contact with pre-populated data   below is the sample url 
/003/e?retURL=%2F003%2Fo&RecordType=012500000001GI4&accid=0014B000006qrld&CF00N500000026KTs=Campaign+Organization&CF00N500000026KTs_lkid=a0E4B000000VGC3&ent=Contact

I added this to Salesforce1 page. But this is redirecting to login screen again and regular browser version of contact create page

Hi 

Step 1:

Create a Visualforce Page:

Make sure that Available for Salesforce mobile apps and Lightning Pages is checked. 
<apex:page standardController="Campaign" extensions="CreateContactController" action="{!init}">
  
</apex:page>
Controller Class:
  
public class CreateContactController {

    public CreateContactController(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {

    }

    public PageReference init() {
        return new PageReference('/003/e');
    }
}
Go to object --> Buttons, Links and Actions --> New Action:

Go to page layout and add the quick action:

Thanks Mahesh for the information. I create VF page, and action button. I am unable to add action button to Salesforce classic publisher section. I am able to add to Salesforce 1 and lightning Experience Actions. But when I login from Mobile appl I am not seeing the "create Contact" button
Mobile Browser App Setting are enabled
We do not have lightning enabled because all features are not supported. can I just enable one page?
