Related Contacts
Overview
The Related Contacts feature in ConveYour allows users to establish relationships between contacts, making it easier to track downlines, manage team hierarchies, or create custom relationships between individuals. While recruitment is a common use case, this feature is designed to be flexible, allowing any contact to be related to any number of other contacts.
How to Set Up Related Contacts
Create a Related Contact Field
Navigate to Main Menu > Settings > Fields > Contact Info.
Click the Plus Icon (+).
Enter a Field Name (e.g., Recruiter, Mentor, Account Manager).
Select Related Contacts as the field type.
Configure Visibility & Access:
Optionally limit the field to a specific Group of contacts.
Click Create to save your custom Related Contacts field.
Drag the field higher for better visibility on the contact page.
How to Assign Related Contacts
Navigate to Main Menu > Contacts and open the contact’s profile.
Locate the Related Contact field you created.
Select one or more contacts to associate.
How to View Related Contacts & Downlines
Creating a Group for Related Contacts
Navigate to Main Menu > Groups > New > Group.
Name the Group (e.g., “Andy’s Network”).
Configure the group using the Related Contact field.
Select Descendant Of and input a contact’s name (e.g., Andy).
The system will dynamically update the group as relationships change.
Expanding the Hierarchy
Downline relationships extend up to 30 levels deep!
