When you use properties to improve your day-to-day customer service quality, it works. In this article, we will show you where to find your lead's or user's properties and their company properties in your inbox and how you can manage them.

What are contact and company properties?

Contact properties are a set of information about your contact with simple data. For example:

  • SaaS product-related properties: user's name, phone number, billing address, company size, user type, or any other property that is needed for your business to operate.

  • E-commerce product-related properties: user's name, phone number, address, type of client, the contact viewed page, or any other property that is needed for your business to operate.
    At this time there is no way to track multiple products within one property, you can track purchases within the specific products within custom events. E.g. customerly.event ( "purchase_item_1")

There are all default and customizable properties.


Company properties are also a set of important information about the company of the user such as last payment, company owner, subscription plan, the license expires at, and many more.

Properties are the perfect way to track multiple information about your users and use it for marketing and customer support purposes.
