Manage contacts and companies

Strong contact records reduce resolution time and improve routing accuracy.

Contact Record Essentials

For each important contact, maintain:

  • Name and reachable identifiers (email/phone)
  • Relevant tags
  • Custom attributes used by routing or reports
  • Linked company when applicable

During Active Support

  1. Confirm the user identity early in the conversation.
  2. Fill missing attributes while context is fresh.
  3. Add tags that represent issue type and product area.
  4. Keep records clean; avoid duplicate naming patterns.

Company-Level Usage

Use company grouping when multiple contacts represent one customer organization.

Useful for:

  • Escalation history
  • Account-level trends
  • Shared operational notes

Contact + Sessions Investigation Pattern

When debugging behavior issues:

  1. Open the contact profile.
  2. Check replay-linked session history (if available).
  3. Use replay evidence to enrich contact notes.

Note: Replay visibility in contact context depends on workspace permissions and enabled Sessions features.
