What is it? 

Use our Contacts feature to store the rich zero and first-party data you collect using the Komo Platform! Contacts will allow you to view and gain knowledge from various contact properties like achievements (Badges), contact type, the creation date of the contact, as well as your own unique properties collected via data capture. These are the rich insights that will allow you to personalize your content and truly connect with your customers.

Komo is fully integrated, allowing you to seamlessly share your customer data captured via Komo with your external CRM, or you can choose to manage all of your data directly within the Komo ecosystem. 

Contacts also support our Badges and Profiles features, allowing you to assign achievements to users based on their activity within your Hub and enabling users to identify themselves with an avatar while they engage with the games across your Hub.

      FAQ

      What is the difference between viewing contacts from a Hub and viewing them at a company level? 

      The only difference here will be the Contacts you see. When you view your Contacts from a Hub, the Contacts table will automatically filter to show you the Contacts captured via that particular Hub. 

      Whereas, when you view your Contacts from a company level, the table will automatically display all Contacts captured across ALL Hubs under your company. From here, you can still use the filters to narrow down to certain Hubs and Contact Properties. 

       

      One last note: 

      At Komo, we pride ourselves on not only the results our clients achieve with us but the service they receive whilst bringing their Hub's to life. 

      If you ever have any questions about an upcoming activation, how you can best utilize Komo to get the best possible outcome, or just a general query, please don't hesitate to reach out to your Customer Success Specialist or email us at support@komo.tech
