Contacts
Updated over a week ago

Project teams are typically made up of users from different companies. BuildingBlok helps you manage all of your contacts in one place.

You can create company and user contacts with details such as address, phone and notes and then invite those contacts to your projects.


Company Contacts

Company Contacts are a great way to centralize all of the information you have about a specific company. These contacts are typically linked to specific user contacts. When you update the name of a company contact, the company name on linked user contacts will be updated as well, so the company name is consistent.

Create a company contact

Contacts > Companies > New > Company


User Contacts

User Contacts are a great way to centralize all of the information you have about a specific user. These contacts are linked to a specific company contact, which helps make sure users are associated with the correct company and that the company name is always consistent.
