The Communications tab

The Communications tab is the conversation history: every recorded touch with a contact, newest first. On a company it rolls up everyone who works there.

What lands there

EntryWhere it comes from
EnquiryA form or website enquiry they sent.
CallA tracked phone call.
Logged communicationAnything a rep recorded by hand.
Email sent / receivedA mailbox connected to this tribe.
MeetingA CRM calendar event.
Campaign or automation emailMarketing sends, shown for context.

Marketing sends appear so a rep is never blindsided by an email the customer received that morning — but they are excluded from last contacted, because a bulk send is not a conversation.

Email only appears if a mailbox is connected

THE MOST COMMON "IT IS NOT WORKING"
A rep who has not connected their mailbox will see no email at all on any contact. Nothing is broken — the CRM has no way of seeing their inbox. Connect the account from Team Members and the history begins to fill in.

Using it

  • Read the company's tab before a meeting — it covers everyone at the account, not just your contact.
  • Use it to answer "has anyone already replied to this?" before you reply again.
  • Compose an email from here so the reply lands back in the same history.
