Why primary contact matters

The primary contact email is used when you:
  • Request documents from the supplier
  • Request samples from the supplier
  • Send other automated communications
Make sure this is someone who can respond to these requests - typically your account manager or sales contact at the supplier.

​
Add multiple contacts

You can add multiple contacts for a supplier and control which types of emails each person receives.
  1. Open the supplier record
  2. Go to the Contacts section
  3. Click Add Contact
  4. Enter the contact’s details (first name, last name, email)
  5. Select the Email Types they should receive
  6. Click Save

Email type settings

Tailor which emails each contact receives based on their role: This ensures the right people at your supplier receive the right requests, improving response times.
