As entered in subject field: How do I assign a user in Conversations to an existing contact?
I noticed when clicking Open contact page, it creates a new account even though the same contact exist. How to avoid duplicates? I’m on the free plan. Is it available in the Pro plan?
Bump. Anyone? cc @ahudavert
Hello @monocat, sorry for the late reply. In order to link a visitor to an existing contact you need to update the email or phone number field with the same info as the existing contact. They will be merged then.
Thanks @qlambert That did it. Although, it would be nice to add search option in the panel to avoid having to find an email or phone number associated to a contact. In my first example, I had to go to search for the company, then click the assigned contact, copy and paste the email. Little cumbersome.
Btw- do you have a better place to submit suggestion. See my comment in Product Suggestions and Improvements - #9 par monocat
Also another suggestion that I had posted: CRM Suggestion: Add ability to assign contacts to companies with no email
