Create the right customer record

Record the customer identity and review possible duplicates before creating another record.

Before you start

You need permission to create customers and the required identity details. Email is optional; an organisation needs its legal name.

Follow these steps

  1. Search existing customers and relevant contacts.
  2. Choose individual or organisation.
  3. Enter the required identity details and relevant optional contact information.
  4. Review any duplicate candidates.
  5. Select the existing record or explicitly confirm that this is a different customer.
  6. Save and inspect the resulting record.

Check the result

The customer has the identity and contact information you supplied. A missing email does not remove other required fields.

If you get stuck

Review the specific validation message and duplicate candidates. Do not invent an email address or bypass a likely duplicate with altered spelling.

One thing to remember

Duplicate review can use supported names, phone numbers, tax identifiers and contact details as well as email. A supported merge is a deliberate reviewed action, not an automatic consequence of a match.

Keep going

Still need a hand?

Tell us what you tried, what you expected and what happened. Keep passwords, API keys and private customer information out of your message.

Open a support ticket. Visitors without a workspace can contact us.

Still stuck?

Before contacting support:

  1. Confirm the workspace, record number, date range and status.
  2. Check your role permissions and the source document.
  3. Refresh once and search for the record before repeating a submission.
  4. Check the relevant guide for the next action; do not force a match, posting or approval.

If you still need help, include the page address, exact message, time, expected result and checks already completed. Never send passwords, API keys, payment-card details or provider secrets.
