Use this guide when you need to manage contact records in SimplySync. It's ideal for scenarios where you want to streamline your workflow, reduce manual data entry, and ensure that your team has quick access to all the information they need. Whether you're updating contact details, tracking conversations, or logging activities, this new interface makes it easier to stay productive and organized.
Key Improvements at a Glance
- Modern design: Faster, consistent, and visually streamlined layout.
- Auto-Save: Changes save automatically when you leave a field — no clicks needed.
- Smart Navigation: Move between contacts using keyboard shortcuts.
- Collapsible panels: Focus on what matters most, and the system remembers your layout.

Left Panel: Contact Information
This is where you’ll find and manage all the key details about your contact. You can edit the profile picture, update contact details such as name, email, phone, and tags, and configure communication preferences using the DND tab. Use the Actions tab for quick utilities like managing Opportunities and workflows.
Center Panel: Conversations & Activities
This section shows the complete history of your interactions with the contact. You can view messages, calls, and notes in one place, track appointments, opportunities, and activity logs, and quickly create new notes or log calls.
Right Panel: Action Modules
The right panel is now fully collapsible and remembers your last active tab. You can access:
- Activities — Track appointments, form submissions, and activity logs.
- Associations — Add, remove, or view Companies and Custom Objects.
- Opportunities — View all opportunities linked to the contact in a dedicated tab.
- Tasks — Create, edit, or check off contact-specific tasks.
- Notes — Log key updates or client discussions.
- Appointments — View upcoming or past meetings.
- Documents — View sent or received files.
- Payments — Track invoices, subscriptions, and transactions.
Auto-Save: How It Works
Auto-Save is one of the most powerful new additions. When enabled, your edits are saved automatically the moment you leave a field — no manual “Save” click required. Admins can enable or disable Auto-Save from Settings → Contacts → Details Tab → Auto-Save toggle.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Save time with these new shortcuts:
- → / ← — Move between contacts in the list.
- ESC — Collapse right panel.
- CTRL + S (or CMD + S) — Manual save (if Auto-Save is off).
Quality of Life Enhancements
Panels and tabs now remember your last state — no need to re-expand or collapse each time. Consistent spacing, typography, and component behavior provide a professional, clutter-free look across all modules.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will Auto-Save apply to everyone in my account?
Yes. Once enabled by an admin, Auto-Save is active for all users in that sub-account.
Q: Can I revert changes saved by Auto-Save?
