Common questions about Contact Fields usually focus on notifications, multiple selection, and address book availability; the answers below help you troubleshoot quickly.
FAQ
Will notifications still be sent after a contact is removed?
- Check whether the current record is still referenced by an automated task or another notification flow.
- If the contact has been removed from the field value, notifications based on that field usually stop being sent.
- If another person still needs to be notified, select a new contact and save the record.
Can a contact field contain multiple people?
- Right-click the field title and open Field Settings.
- Check whether Allow multiple contacts is selected.
- After it is enabled, you can add more than one contact in the same cell.
Why can’t I add multiple contacts to the field?
- Open Field Settings for the contact field.
- Check whether Extended Capability is enabled.
- After that option is enabled, Allow multiple contacts may no longer be available at the same time, so adjust the setting based on your workflow.
What should I do if I can’t find the contact I need?
- Confirm that the person has been added to the organization directory or current collaborator scope.
- Check whether the name or keyword is entered correctly.
- If the contact still does not appear, update the directory information first and search again.
