Card contacts

The Contacts tab on the Card Detail window allows you to store details on contact people within an organisation. There is no limit to the number of people who can be recorded on this tab.

When you are first setting up your Readysell system, take particular care to get the checkboxes on each contact correct. See the key contact checkboxes, described towards the end of this page. You can only start doing this after the final master file conversion, normally one week before your "Go Live" date. Make sure you check your conversion project plan before starting to change any data.

If you should get a validation to Ignore when adding an email address like the message below. Readysell suggests to click on Ignore and contact the customer/supplier for the correct email address

The email address seems to be on a block list (verify from Mailgun) that could prevent emails from sending to that email address. It could be that the email address couldn't be verified on the Mailgun end which states that it's on a block list, even though it still receives emails.

I suggest you contact the customer and confirm the correct email address

Just click on IGNORE on the message

Buttons

Refer to Common Buttons.

Button	Description
Send Email	Creates a new email addressed to the selected contact.

Fields

Name	The person’s name.
Name	Full name (including surname) of the contact person
Job Description	Job description/title of the contact person
Web ID	Username of this contact person on the web. A person must have a web ID in order to place and receive web orders. The web ID is the username the customer uses to log into the store's website. If you place a web ID onto a customer and then decide they should be on another customer, make sure you delete it off the customer they don't belong to. If you leave them on there, the web order, when it comes through into Readysell sales module, may allocate the wrong customer onto that web order.
Phone	Telephone number of the contact person
Mobile	Mobile/cellular telephone number of the contact person
Fax	Fax number for the contact person
Email address	Email address of the contact person. Emails from Readysell will be sent to this address depending upon which flag is turned on that identifies the contact property.
Role	The functional role of this contact person within the organisation. Used to segment the contact in CRM. A person can only have one role.
Call Cycle	Call cycle to be used for automatically generating cases to track objectives and outcomes on regular follow-ups on this contact person.
Social Media Profile	The web address of this contact person's personal social media profile
Marketing Opt Out	Opts this contact person out of email marketing material
Archived	Indicates that the contact person has been archived. An archived contact person cannot be used in new transactions.
Key Contact Checkboxes	Those checkboxes are very important, they control things like who in each organisation gets emails of invoices and statements. This determines what communication is sent to this person from Readysell. A single person can have more than one contact property flagged. Take care to get this right when setting up your Readysell system. The following types are available: Primary Contact: The primary contact for the card. Account Receivable: Contact for supplier remittance advice. Service: Contact for service orders. Management: Indicates the contact is a manager. Purchasing Officer: Contact for sales orders. Account Payable: Contact for account statements, sales invoices and meter charge invoices. Sales: Contact for purchase orders. Statement Recipient: Contact for account statements

If you are trying to email a report that covers more than 1 record (e.g. multiple invoices or statements), then we don't populate the email address if there is more than 1 recipient between them. This is to prevent accidentally sending documents to unintended recipients.

If you have set up two different contact names with the same email address on both, you will receive one email only.
