Accounts: companies, not just contacts

Contacts and deals from the same company are grouped under one account automatically (from their business email domain), with a single view of that company's people, deals and history, and a roster that says who to reach for what.

Accounts group the people and deals that belong to the same company, so you see one business (its contacts, open and won deals, and the whole timeline) instead of scattered records.

How are accounts created?

Automatically. When a lead arrives with a business email, Finocket reads the domain and files the lead under that company’s account, creating it if it’s new and naming it from the domain (“acme-corp.co.in” becomes “Acme Corp”). Personal addresses like Gmail or Yahoo never create a company.

What does an account show?

The account page carries the company’s GSTIN, state, industry and annual revenue, everyone you know there, its deals (open, won and lost), and a single newest-first timeline of activity across all of them, so a second enquiry from the same company lands with full context.

Who do I actually call?

Open an account and you’ll see People by role: the company’s contacts filed by what they do for you, not by what their business card says. Pick a role (compliance lead, safety officer, facility manager, quality, operations, legal, finance, purchase, HR, IT, admin, or reception) and outreach can target that role instead of the general line.

Seniority is a second, separate setting: owner, director, department head, manager or executive. A facilities head and a facilities executive are both reachable, but only one of them signs, so the roster puts the senior person first.

Mark one person as the primary for a role and that becomes the default for that role at that company. You can only have one primary per role, so there’s never a question of which safety officer we mean. Free-text job titles are untouched and still show under the name.

Frequently asked questions

Why didn't a Gmail lead create an account?

Personal mail domains (Gmail, Yahoo and the like) don't imply a company, so those leads stay individual contacts. Accounts are created from business email domains.

Can I edit what an account knows about the company?

The account's details (GSTIN, state, industry, annual revenue) display on the account page, and its people, deals and timeline roll up automatically as leads arrive.

How do I reach the safety officer instead of the front desk?

On the account page, set each person's role under People by role: compliance lead, safety officer, facility manager, quality, operations, legal, finance, purchase, HR, IT, admin or reception. Mark one person as the primary for a role and that's who outreach uses for it.

Can two people be primary for the same role?

No. One primary per role, per company, so there's never a question of which safety officer you meant. Marking someone new as primary moves the badge across automatically.

What's the difference between a role and a job title?

The job title is what the person calls themselves and is free text. The role is what they do for you, chosen from a fixed list, which is what makes it searchable and targetable. Both are shown; setting a role never overwrites a title.
