Accounts are company records. Contacts are people records. In Octolane, both are created and updated automatically from your connected data sources - you rarely need to create or edit them by hand.

How records are created

Octolane creates accounts and contacts from:
  • Email - anyone you email or who emails you gets a contact record; their company gets an account
  • Calendar - meeting attendees are added as contacts
  • Website traffic - Signal identifies visiting companies and creates account records
  • Form submissions - leads who fill out forms become contacts
  • Enrichment - when a new contact is created, Octolane searches the web for their company and creates an account if one doesn’t exist

Automatic enrichment

Every record is enriched with data pulled from the web in real-time: Contacts: full name, job title, email, phone, LinkedIn profile, social accounts, location Accounts: company name, domain, industry, employee count, revenue estimate, funding data, tech stack, headquarters location, social profiles Enrichment happens automatically and stays current - Octolane periodically refreshes data so records don’t go stale.

Merging duplicates

When the same person or company enters your CRM from multiple sources (email + website visit + form submission), Octolane detects the overlap and merges records automatically. You can also merge records manually if needed.
