Get contact from company

Get contact from company retrieves a contact linked to the company in scope and makes it available to downstream steps. Use it in company-scoped automations when you need to run contact-level actions (send an email, add to a list, assign an owner). This action is available on company-scoped triggers.

How it works​

  1. The automation reaches the step with a company in scope
  2. The step looks up contacts associated with the company
  3. A contact record is brought into scope for downstream steps
  4. Contact-scoped actions become available in subsequent steps
warning

If the company has no associated contacts, the step returns an error. Add an If/else branch to handle cases where no contact exists.

Set up the action​

  1. Open the automation builder and add a new step
  2. Under Businesses, select Get contact from company

This action has no configuration fields — it retrieves a contact linked to the company in scope.

Outputs​

After the step runs, a contact record is available in scope. Downstream steps can act on the contact directly via Add dynamic content.
