Contacts Overview
Manage your business contacts in one place. My Contacts (personal), Shared with Me, Internal (team directory). Create, edit, search, and organize.
Contacts Overview
The Contacts module gives you a central place to manage business contacts. Store names, phone numbers, email addresses, and other details—then call, email, or message them directly from CrystalQore.
Three Contact Views
My Contacts
My Contacts are your personal contacts. You create and manage them yourself. They are private by default and visible only to you unless you share them.
Use My Contacts for:
- External customers and partners
- Personal business connections
- Anyone not in your internal directory
Shared with Me
Shared with Me lists contacts that other team members have shared with you. You can view and use these contacts but typically cannot edit them unless the sharer grants permission.
Use this view to:
- Access contacts shared by colleagues
- Collaborate on shared account lists
- Work with team-curated contact lists
Internal
Internal contacts are your team directory—synced automatically from your PBX (FusionPBX). This includes extensions, users, and other internal entries. Internal contacts are available to everyone in your organization.
Use Internal for:
- Finding colleagues by name or extension
- One-click calling to internal numbers
- Chatting with internal team members
Internal contacts are read-only from CrystalQore. Changes to users and extensions are made in the PBX and sync to Contacts.
