Agent Contacts

Agent contacts are the people who work for your agency. Creating a contact and assigning them a role is how you create a user in the system. Once saved, the person can sign up using the email address on their contact record and they will be automatically matched and granted access at the level their role defines. Each contact should be assigned exactly one role — do not assign multiple roles to the same person.

The two roles available for agent staff are:

  • Property Manager — full access to manage OMCs, requests, and contacts
  • System Admin — all Property Manager access plus system-level configuration

To remove system access for a departed team member, delete their role in the Roles panel and save. The contact record and its history remain in place; so you can still see who performed historical actions.

A contact can only be deleted if they have no history in the system — no actions, service requests, transactions, or mail on record. Once a contact has any activity attached, the delete will be rejected. This is intentional: the record and its history should be retained even after a person is no longer active.

To remove login access without deleting the record, delete the contact’s role in the Roles panel and save.

Mail Status picklist Controls whether the system will send emails to this contact. Only OK allows mail to be sent — any other status means mail will not be delivered. The other values explain why: the contact opted out, their address is bouncing, they marked mail as spam, or the address is invalid.
User Name text The username of the system account linked to this contact. This is populated automatically once the contact signs up using the email address on this record.
