Create and Manage Contacts
Contacts are individuals who represent a company with which you have a business relationship. Often contacts are related to a company, but certain organizations may serve individual customers as well. In that case, the contact will not be part of a company and you have a business relationship with the contact directly.
Contacts module in Bigin allows you to add all your contacts in one place along with the companies that they are related to. Adding all necessary informations such as name, address, phone number, email helps in getting in touch with them easily.
The record details page displays everything that you need to know about a contact under relevant related list tabs like activities, notes, email interactions, social interactions, pipelines and attachments. The record details page also displays the history of everything that is done to a record in the Contacts Module under the Timeline tab.

When there are lot of records in the contacts module, using filters will help find the required set of records easily. There are various set of advanced filters available such as: Time based filters, based on activities carried out, pipeline stage, email status, etc. You can simply choose the appropriate filter, enter the criteria and apply. All the records which matches the specified criteria will be listed. You can apply upto five filters at a time. See More.

There might be situations in your organization where you have to perform the same action for a set of records. Bulk actions in Bigin allows you to perform the action for the selected records from list view. For example, you might want to send the same welcome email to a set of fifteen contacts. In that case, you can simply select the records and send email, which will be sent to all the contacts individually. See More.
