In the Sales CRM, with the standard CRM Template, a contact email address automatically creates an account entry for that email domain, and then in the background fields are autofilled with Crunchbase data about that company, in the accounts table. And the contacts with email addresses of that domain are automatically linked as contacts to the account record.
We can turn off the Item Association feature in CRM Settings, and we can delete or hide some of the columns, but it’s still going on in the background, and we can’t hide the Company Profile column.
We need to be able to disable the “autofill” of company data and auto linking of contacts to accounts on the basis of an email domain. While it is likely useful for most, it is not something I want in my application at all. I don’t want unknown and unexpected changes happening without my knowledge. And I need to be able to hide or delete the things I am not using.
(I’m a tiny nonprofit, my “accounts” are members, they are individuals or families, if they give me their work email that’s fine, but it doesn’t mean that the company is my account)
Just wanting to be able to turn off this feature for those of us who won’t use it, and to be able to remove the unnecessary columns without sacrificing all of the wonderful default automation stuff I haven’t even fully explored yet.
