Contacts and the customer index

The contacts module is your complete customer index. Here you keep all the information about your customers — contact details, addresses, communication history, tasks, subscriptions and notification settings.


The contact overview

List view

The contacts page shows a paginated, searchable list of all your contacts:

ColumnContent
NameCustomer name (+ contact person for companies)
Email and phoneContact details
AddressPrimary address (street + city)
CreatedWhen the contact was created

Search and filtering

  • Free-text search — search across name, email, phone and address
  • Show blocked contacts — toggle, with the number of blocked contacts shown as a badge

Per-contact actions

Via the three-dot menu:

  • Edit — open the contact for editing
  • Convert lead to customer — if the contact is a lead
  • Merge with another contact — combine two contacts
  • Block — prevent new tasks for this customer
  • Delete — soft-delete (recoverable)

The contact detail page

Click a contact to open the detail page with two panels:

Left sidebar

Contact details:

  • Avatar with initials (automatically generated)
  • Name and an optional status badge
  • Source badge (e.g. "Facebook", "Webhook", "Manual")

Quick actions: Three buttons for instant contact:

  • 📞 Call — opens the call integration
  • 💬 SMS — opens the SMS composer
  • ✉️ Email — opens the email composer

Duplicate warning: If the system detects a possible duplicate (same name, email or phone), a warning is shown with the option to merge the contacts.

Customer portal:

  • Invitation status (not invited / pending / accepted / expired)
  • Invite to portal button — sends an invitation so the customer can log in and see their tasks, invoices and rescheduling options

Notes: Free-text field for internal notes about the customer. Editable directly on the page.

Addresses: A customer can have multiple addresses — useful for companies with several locations or individuals with a summer house/office. Each address:

  • Is searched and validated via DAWA (the Danish address register)
  • Is automatically geocoded for accurate route planning
  • Can have address notes (e.g. "Ring the bell at the back entrance")

Billing relations: View and manage billing relations if another contact pays for this customer's services.

Tabs

1. Tasks All tasks and subscriptions for this customer:

  • History of every task (completed, scheduled, cancelled)
  • Active subscriptions
  • Create task and Create subscription buttons directly from here

2. Notifications Notification settings per customer:

  • Enable/disable automatic notifications
  • Channel — SMS, email or both
  • Days before visit — how far in advance the customer should be notified
  • Separate settings for:
    • Tasks that require presence (e.g. plumbing work)
    • Tasks that don't require presence (e.g. window cleaning)

3. Quotes Overview of every sent and deleted quote with status badges and actions.

4. Communication Full communication history — emails, SMS messages and internal notes in one continuous thread.

Property view

From the contact's address you can open a map view with three perspectives:

ViewSourceDescription
SatelliteAerial photoStandard bird's-eye view
ObliqueKortforsyningenDanish aerial photos taken at an angle — shows the building's facade
Street viewStreet levelStreet-level photo of the address

Useful for:

  • Assessing access conditions before the first visit
  • Estimating the scope of the job (e.g. the garden's size)
  • Briefing new team members about the property

Merge contacts

When you find two contacts that are the same customer:

  1. Click Merge on the duplicate warning (or pick it from the actions menu)
  2. The merge dialog shows both contacts side by side
  3. Pick which data to keep from each contact
  4. Click Merge — every task, subscription and piece of communication history is gathered under one contact

What's preserved when merging:

  • All tasks and subscriptions
  • All communication history
  • All addresses
  • The selected contact's master data

Block a customer

The block feature prevents new tasks for a problem customer:

  1. Click the three-dot menu → Block
  2. The contact shows a "blocked" badge
  3. Blocked contacts are hidden in the default list (but can be shown via the filter)
  4. Existing tasks are untouched

Unblock: Same menu → Unblock.


Contacts and billing

Clientflow supports flexible billing relations:

  • Default: The customer pays for their own jobs
  • Third party: Another contact pays (e.g. a property manager pays for the tenants' window cleaning)

Billing relations are set up from the contact's sidebar under "Billing relations".


FAQ: Contacts

Can a contact have multiple addresses?
Yes. Add as many addresses as needed. Each address can be selected separately when you create a task.
What happens when I delete a contact?
The contact is "soft-deleted" — removed from the list, but the data is preserved in the database. Contact support if you need to restore a deleted contact.
Can I change a contact from individual to company?
Yes. Toggle "Is company" and the CVR and contact-person fields appear.
How do I import customers from another system?
Contact Clientflow support for help with bulk import from CSV/Excel.
Can customers update their own information?
Not directly. But via the customer portal they can request rescheduling and see their tasks and invoices.
