"Related" entries

Trying to wrap my head around the following:I’m in real estate - my leads come mostly as lender referrals - which means that each “lead” has at least two contact “person” associated with them as well as some pdf files  To keep things organized  - I should keep the incoming lead in “leads “ status. as long as I haven’t talked to them or know if it’’ ever pan out . The problem is - I can’t relate the associated “person” field. In my normal workflow there’s a lot of communication necessary between the original parties before we ever can make the decision if this can become an opportunity.In order to do any relationship - I’d have to create a “project” or opportunity - which is complete overkill unnecessary - At this point my brain is “fried” trying to find a work around :)

Importing new information on existing contacts on Copper in bulk

I'm trying to update information in bulk on people we already have on Copper, by uploading an excel sheet. But from what I see, if we input an existing contact again, Copper will not synchronize it to avoid duplicates. Now my question is: is it possible to upload information from existing contacts onto Copper in bulk? (through excel or .csv format). Or would I have to delete the contacts on Copper and upload them again, and will I lose the saved previous activity?

Meetings booked per rep

Heya, I’m looking for some advice on how to create reports that showcase meetings booked per rep over a given period of time. Right now we use the “Task > Activity Type = Meeting” to track meetings booked (with created date being the filter there) and then the “task completed” date to indicate the meeting happened. Can I create a report showcasing Meeting Tasks created per month per rep, as well as Meeting Tasks completed per month per rep? Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to create a default "Note" using markdown?

I’d love to use markdown for taking meeting notes with rich text - but I think there would be a high user burden to remember the markdown usage. I’m wondering if it’s possible to save a default “Note” with the markdown so that every time a new note is created in a record, a guide for the markdown is easily accessible.

Email Templates

COPPER CRM - when creating an email and using templates we were able to add multiple templates to the email, now when we select a different template to add in the email it removes all the text from the email and adds only the text of the template I selected.

Saving customized 'List View' and exporting according to customized list.

Hello, We are having two issues regarding the List View capabilities in the Pipeline: I am wondering if there’s a way to save a customized list view so that other people in the team can see the same columns/fields used and the order in which they have been organized. One can save custom filters in the pipeline, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to save the Custom Columns and their customized order in “List View” mode.  There really seems to be an issue with the ‘exporting to Excel’ capabilities in List View. No matter which of the three ‘Export Opportunities’ options I choose, the system exports ALL of the fields, not only the ones I have chosen in Custom Columns. The hope would be to be able to export the List View such as is being presented in Copper, with only the Custom Columns chosen. If anyone knows how to fix these issues, I would very much appreciate any help. Otherwise, it would be an idea for the Product Team to look into. Thank you!Daniel

Related Companies

Hi there. I am interested in noting relationships between various companies in our database. This would help immensely as a fundraiser. For instance, I know that Foundation A provides grants for people and organizations in our industry. I also know that Foundation B does the same and has worked with Foundation A on joint initiatives in the past. It would be helpful for me to know that these companies are related in this way so that if I’m on the phone with someone from Foundation A, I can mention Foundation B and try to get a referral. Is there a reason I can’t currently relate companies in this way? Thank you!

Duplicates created after saving them from LinkedIn through Surfe

Hello, So I believe I have various duplicates in people and Companies, given I use Surfe (ex-Leadjet) to save my LinkedIn conversations with the leads I already had on Copper. It seems that Copper does not recognize that the leads or their companies are already on the Copper records.Since I manually have to merge these duplicates, and there are many of them, how can I avoid duplicates being created everytime I save the conversation with a lead from LinkedIn? Thanks.

Avoiding and managing duplicate leads and companies best practices

Hello, After exporting people from Copper into Google Sheets in order to update them in bulk, I’ve encountered several duplicates. In terms of both leads and companies. These are the cases I have encountered:-Sometimes there is more than one lead with the same name and email but with different contact activity, when I thought Copper avoided having two people with the same name and email.  -In other cases, one company repeats itself several times. As for this particular case, sometimes there are different contacts associated to the same company, which explains the reason behind some of the duplicates.However, there are cases where I see 8 different CopperIDs for the same company, and in most cases there is no contact assigned to these duplicates. Since Identifying and merging these duplicates is highly time-consuming, my question is: which are the best practices so I can avoid to the highest extent, having this insane amount of duplicates that I have at the moment. Any solutions and pre

Recording Donations

I am looking for ways to record the details of financial donations from our alumni community to our various scholarship funds.At the moment I am looking at using a Donations pipeline, with each gift being an opportunity, but our central campaign is for regular, modest, monthly donations.The alternative would be to list the donation as an activity, but this does not allow for reporting of things like income.Would anyone care to share best practice for recording income/donations within Copper?

Email visibility / privacy

Hi all!My team and I are struggling with the “Individual Email Visibility Control” setting. Either all emails are public, which we definitely don't want because that means I could see all emails to and from my colleagues, including internal and private emails. Or all emails are private, which is what we have now, but that means opening every email to and from (potential) customers manually, and there are dozens of them every day. Is there a solution for this? Or can a less all-or-nothing feature be developed?Kind regards,Jesper Doorn

Date format in Legacy report vs Setting

Hi,In settings, I’ve set my date formatting to DD/MM/YYYY. But in the (legacy) reports it appears as MM/DD/YYYY. Is this a bug or can I format the date in a different way?If it’s a bug, or an intentional feature which I would find very strange, is there a potential solution?Kind regards,Jesper Doorn

Business Type Vs Product type

What is the best way to use the “Account Type” field for a company? We are having some internal confusion and can’t determine the optimal flow. We are getting the type of company or business mixed in with the product they are using. Should we create a new field such as “Product Type” for the opportunity or a “Business Type” for the company or “Product Type” for the company? Or something else?
