CRM document management

Keep every customer's files on their card, not in your chats.

You don't have to dig through chats and email for a customer's files. They're on the customer's record, beside the notes.

30 minutes. You choose the day and the time.

On the phone

The file you need, while they're still on the phone

Mrs Wong calls to ask about the second kitchen quote. It's in an email thread, or in a chat on the phone Daniel took home. You tell her you'll call back, and that's one more follow-up you didn't need.

01Attach

Attach files to the customer they belong to.

You've just been to the site and taken six photos. Upload them from your phone onto the customer's record, or attach them in the note box as you write, so the photos sit with the note about them. A pipeline without a files field gets one the first time you attach.

  • Up to 10 MB a file
  • Any kind of file
  • From the note box too

02Open

Find and open a customer's files in a tap.

She's on the phone asking about the second quote. Open her record and the PDF opens in a panel beside the notes. Photos open the same way, and Word files are drawn in the page. Anything else downloads with a tap.

  • PDFs and photos open in a panel
  • Word .docx files open in the page

03Private

Keep customers' files private.

Your customers' floor plans and quotes aren't for anyone with a link. Files sit in private storage. Each time someone opens one, Palby makes a link that stops working after an hour, so a forwarded link soon goes dead.

  • Private storage, not a public folder
  • Links that expire after an hour
  • Opened through the record

04Your team

Hand a customer over with their files attached.

Daniel's on leave, and Mrs Wong calls you instead. Files follow the pipeline's sharing, so the quote and the photos are already on her card. View can open them, use can add them, and manage can remove them.

  • Use adds
  • Manage removes
