Get company from contact
Get company from contact retrieves the company linked to the contact in scope and makes it available to downstream steps. Use it in contact-scoped automations when you need to run company-level actions. This action is available on contact-scoped triggers.
How it works
- The automation reaches the step with a contact in scope
- The step looks up the company associated with the contact
- The company record is brought into scope for downstream steps
- Company-scoped actions become available in subsequent steps
warning
If the contact has no associated company, the step returns an error. Add an If/else branch to handle cases where no company exists.
Set up the action
- Open the automation builder and add a new step
- Under Businesses, select Get company from contact
This action has no configuration fields — it retrieves the company linked to the contact in scope.
Outputs
After the step runs, a company record is available in scope. Downstream steps can act on the company directly via Add dynamic content.
