It would be great if I could add a new contact from Timeline entries. The contact I am trying to add as an external attendee doesn't exist so now I need to go back to people, add them, then try again (less likely to do that). If I could be prompted to add the contact, fill in any fields required and hit save, then continue doing my timeline entry, it could help ensure proper record keeping

This would be a huge time savings for CSMs/End Users! It would also help keep customer contacts up to date since we could more easily add in new contacts.

@aaronhatton and others, thanks for sharing your feedback.  I have noted and added this to roadmap for prioritization. However we have other priorities that may take over so this may not be picked up in our near term feature deliverables.

Not sure whether this would be a new idea or not, but on a similar note, it’d be really cool to be able to update Company Person fields from the Timeline Entries to make maintaining data a bit easier. Ex:

  • Title Change
  • Role Change (key contact, etc.)
  • Name Change (if incomplete data)
  • etc.
