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


Adding notes

You can add notes directly to the activity feed.

Use @ mentions to link notes directly to Teammates, Contacts, Companies, Projects, Deals, or Tasks.

Notes can be associated with multiple records at the same time. For example, a single note can be linked to a contact, their company, and a project simultaneously.

Adding a contact to a company

To add a contact:

  1. Open the Contacts tab

  2. Select 'Add Contact'

  3. Enter contact details

Or:

  1. Go to Contacts

  2. Select New Contact

  3. Assign the contact to one or more companies.

Set a default contact

  1. Open the company record

  2. Locate the contact

  3. Select the three-dot menu

  4. Click 'Set as Default Contact'


This ensures documents are sent to the correct primary 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

  • Show a dropdown of all associated contacts

This gives full flexibility while keeping workflows fast.

Editing a company’s Information

Keep your records accurate by updating company details at any time.

  1. Navigate to Companies

  2. Select the company you want to update

  3. Edit the company name directly by clicking on it

  4. Use the Edit button in each section (Details, Addresses, etc.)

  5. Click Save

Adding custom fields to company files

Customize company records to match your workflow. To add custom fields:

  1. Click your profile icon (top right)

  2. Under Company Fields, click + Add New Field

  3. Define the field and save

New fields will appear under the Additional Info section for all companies.

Data integrity

To protect data consistency:

  • If a company has active records (invoices, contracts, deals, etc.), you cannot remove the last remaining contact

If attempted, the system will display:

"Can't remove the last contact from a company with active records. Add another contact first."

You must add a replacement contact before removing the original.
