How to create and manage companies and contacts

Details on how to add, edit, and delete company information.

Managing company information helps you keep all contact details, communication, and related work organized in one place. Each company record stores essential business and contact details, along with associated invoices, projects, notes, deals and forms.

Creating companies and contacts

You can create companies and contacts independently, making setup faster and more flexible.

Creating a company

To add a company

  1. Navigate to Companies from the sidebar.

  2. Select New Company.

  3. Enter the company name (only required field).

  4. Click Add Company.

You can add contacts later at any time from the company profile.

What you can store in a company file

Each company record allows you to manage:

  • Primary and secondary email addresses

  • Additional information (company title, phone number, website)

  • Addresses (company, shipping, etc.)

  • Forms

  • Invoices

  • Notes

  • Projects

Creating a contact

Contacts can now be created independently of companies

To add a contact:

  • Go to Contacts from the sidebar.

  • Select New Contact.

  • Enter:

    • Name

    • Email address (must be unique across all contacts)

You may optionally:

  • Assign the contact to a company, or leave them unassigned (useful for leads, referrers, or networking contacts).

⚠️ Each contact must have a unique email address to prevent duplicates across imports and automations.

What you can store in a company file

Managing contacts for a company

Each company can have multiple contacts, and each contact can now be linked to multiple companies.

A single contact record can be associated with multiple companies.

  • The first company a contact is linked to becomes their Primary Company

  • You can link additional companies from the contact page on the right-hand side

  • You can change the Primary Company at any time using the context menu

  • Each company association can store its own job title

  • A contact can be the Primary Contact for multiple companies simultaneously

This reflects real-world relationships where one person may represent multiple organizations.

  1. Open a company record

  2. Select 'Add Contact'

Choosing contacts on business records (Invoices, Deals, etc.)

When creating business records such as:

  • Invoices

  • Proposals

  • Contracts

  • Deals

  • Forms

The system will:

  • Pre-fill the Primary Contact by default

  • Allow you to switch to any contact linked to the selected company

This gives full flexibility while keeping workflows fast.
