Add one customer manually

Lesson 23 of 53 · Getting Started

Click Add Customer and the form opens with essentials first; address, lead source, tags, and notes hide under the More details toggle at the bottom. Fill the demo form below all the way through saving.

  1. Type the customer's name.
  2. Type a phone number and watch it auto-format.
  3. Type an email address.
  4. Choose a Customer Type: Residential, Commercial, or Property Manager.
  5. With a phone entered, check the SMS consent box that appears.
  6. Toggle the master notifications switch off, then back on.
  7. Clear the optional phone number and keep an email-only contact.
  8. Click Create Customer to save.

Add Customer form (interactive when scripts run): name, phone, email, customer type, SMS consent, and the notifications toggle, with a Create Customer button.

Two details worth knowing:

  • SMS consent only appears once a phone number is entered, and it links to the public policy page at /sms-consent. You must have the customer’s actual consent before checking it.
  • The notifications toggle is a master switch: when off, the customer gets no automated SMS or email (invoice sent, reminders, job status). Expand “Customize which notifications to send” to disable individual notification types instead.
  • Main email receives invoice emails appears once an email is entered. Uncheck it to keep the address on file without sending it invoices and payment reminders, for example when a billing contact should get them instead. The same switch lives on the customer detail page’s invoice-recipients popup. If no email recipients remain, sending an invoice by email fails with a clear message rather than falling back to the main email.

After a real save, Conduit asks What next? with two buttons: add a project, or schedule a job. For your first run-through, schedule a job and continue your fundamental loop.
