OMB Cloud AES

Getting started with Contacts

A unified database of every person in your operation — leads, customers, vendors — with deduplication and source attribution.

Contacts is the directory of every person OMB Cloud interacts with — prospect leads, customer decision-makers, vendor reps. One row per person, regardless of how many companies they've worked at over time.

Core fields

  • Name (first, last), email, phone
  • Current company + role (employment history is preserved when they change jobs)
  • Source attribution: webform, AI agent, CSV import, manual
  • LinkedIn URL when available
  • Tags for segmentation

Add a contact

  1. Go to /app/contacts → "New contact".
  2. Type the email — OMB Cloud checks for an existing record. If one exists, the form switches to "Edit existing".
  3. Fill name, role, company. The company picker autocompletes against your existing Companies database.
  4. Add LinkedIn URL and tags for richer downstream segmentation.

Where contacts come from

Most contacts arrive automatically: from webform submissions, AI agent qualification chats, email-hub ingest of new senders, CSV imports. Manual creation is the exception.

Tips

  • Email is the primary key. If two records share an email, merge them — never let dupes accumulate.
  • When a contact changes jobs, update their current company in OMB Cloud — the employment history preserves the prior one automatically.
