How to Add a Contact and Set a Company Website from the Contact’s Email Domain

In this article, you'll learn how to create a contact, link it to a company, and use the contact’s email domain to set the company website in just a few clicks.

 Overview

When you add a contact to a company, Followup CRM can extract the domain from the contact’s email (for example, name@company.com) and suggest a website for the company.
This helps keep company records complete and easier to navigate without manual website entry.
