How to Use Contact History Rollup
In this article, you'll learn how to use Contact History Rollup to view contact activity and related project history in one unified feed.
Overview
🚀 Contact History Rollup gives you one place to review:
- Direct contact activity (notes, logs, sales activities, and related updates)
- Activity from projects associated with that contact (comments, emails, logs, sales activities, integrations, and milestones)
This makes it easier to understand full relationship context without opening every project individually.
Step-by-Step Instructions
🧭 Step 1: Open the Contact Record
