Adding Multiple Email Addresses to a Contact

Overview

Managing different email addresses for a single contact, such as work, personal, or other roles, is crucial for effective communication. The CRM system allows you to attach up to ten additional email addresses to each contact, in addition to one primary email address. This feature simplifies your contact management process and enhances communication.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Creating or Modifying a Contact: To include additional email addresses in a new contact, start by navigating to the contacts section and selecting the option to create a new contact.

For existing contacts, locate the desired contact and click the pencil icon next to the email field to edit their details.

Adding Additional Email Addresses: Within the contact's profile, you'll find an option to add more email addresses. Click this to insert additional fields for extra email addresses.

Note: You can add up to eleven email fields (including the primary one). Once you reach this limit, the option to add more fields will be disabled.

Setting the Primary Email Address: To set an email as the primary one, click the circle next to the email address you want to designate as primary. This primary email will be used by default for all communications with the contact. Remember to save your changes after making any updates.

Selecting an Email Address for Sending: When composing an email to a contact with multiple email addresses, you can choose the desired email from a dropdown menu. The system will default to the primary email, but you can easily switch to any other listed email address if needed.
