Contacts represent all the people you store in Conversion. They can come from your CRM, your marketing automation, or directly from user activity like filling out a form. Every contact has key information such as their subscription status, name, email, and associated company.
When you sync with Salesforce, both leads and contacts are stored as contacts in Conversion. Each contact can only be associated with a single company.
Where contacts come from
Contacts can be added in several ways:
CRM syncs (e.g. Salesforce)
Form fills on your website or landing pages
Manual adds by a salesperson or marketer
Self-identification through sign-ups or product activity
Once added, contacts will appear in the Contacts view where you can search, filter, and segment them.
Contact profiles
Every contact has a profile that stores their variables and activity history.
Key variables
Subscription status: Subscribed, unsubscribed, or bounced.
Identifiers: Name and email address.
Associated company: Each contact links to one company.
Variables tab
Beyond the basics, Conversion stores hundreds of other variables—from firmographic data to engagement metrics.
You can favorite variables to make them appear by default in most views.
Variables can be used for personalization, segmentation, and workflow logic.
