How to sync contact and company status

Click the toggle to select whether to have a contact's journey status apply to the contact's entire company:

  • Sync on when a contact represents the entire company
    When you close a deal and the contact's status becomes Customer, the company and every contact at that company becomes a customer.
  • Sync off when a contact doesn't represent the entire company
    They may be representing one department where you closed a deal. However, there may be other departments you haven't closed a deal with.
