A contact is your customer, a person that you are in contact with. There are two types of contacts:
- Private contact: This is a private customer, also called B2C. All private contacts are collected in one Account for all private customers.
- Business contact: This is B2B-contact, i.e. a customer who is representing a company. A business contact always requires the existence of an account, which collects all business contacts of said company. Read more about accounts here.
Contacts are either created automatically by EASI’R when accepting new leads, or manually by a user. For more information about how to create, edit or delete a contact manually, please click here.
If you have other systems integrated into EASI’R, contacts might also be imported and/or synchronised from these systems.
A case always requires a contact, but a contact can exist without a case.
Every contact, no matter of business or private contact, has their own contact page. This is how it looks like:
We will now go through the various parts in detail
Top bar:
The five icons shown here tell you what kind of actions you can take.
- Note: Create a note in order to remember important information. At the same time, you can plan a next step, which will then be shown under the case’s ‘Planned’ section and in your task list.
- Meeting: Click this icon, if you just had a meeting with a contact. You can also add a note, plan a reminder and send an email at the same time.
- Email: Click this to send an email to a contact. Again, you can add a note and plan a reminder.
- Call: Here you can register a call you had with your contact. Soon you will be able to directly call your customers from EASI’R!
- Letter: Write a letter and download it for printing. Also here, you can add a note and plan a reminder.
You can create activities right here from the contact page without having to go to a cases first! To learn more about how activity creation works, click here.
