Contact-to-Contact Association | Clixio Changelog

This release introduces the ability to associate multiple contacts with one another using custom labels, allowing users to define and manage relationships between contacts (e.g., Parent-Child, Spouse, Business Partner).

What’s New?

  • Custom Contact Associations:

    Users can now associate two or more contacts using custom labels such as “Parent,” “Spouse,” or “Business Partner” and also pair of labels like “Husband-Wife”, “Manager-Employee”

  • Multiple Associations:

    Contacts can have multiple associations, allowing for up to 10 custom labels per contact relationship.

  • View Linked Contacts:

    A new section in the contact details view displays all linked contacts, grouped by association labels. This provides a clear overview of all related contacts.

  • Manage Association Labels:

    Users can manage labels, create new associations, and remove or edit existing labels for complete control over contact relationships.

How to Use:

1. Creating Associations:

  • Admins can create custom labels by navigating to Settings > Objects > Contacts and clicking on “+ Create Association.”
