You can now archive contacts, informing FirstQuadrant that you will manually take over the relationship with that contact. Archiving a contact means that FirstQuadrant will no longer generate todos related to that contact, and any new emails from them will not be processed but will instead be forwarded to your primary email inbox. You can archive a contact by clicking the “Archive” button in the contact’s settings, or by enabling “Automatically archive contacts” when they are marked as “won” or reply to your email in your team settings.

Over the past two weeks, we have also been working on several quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes to make your experience with FirstQuadrant even better. You can find the full list of almost 40 changes we’ve made in the past week below.
