## Auto-Association of Companies with Contacts

Concord CRM simplifies contact management by automatically linking contacts to companies based on email domains.

### How It Works

- When you add a contact, Concord CRM checks the domain of the contact's email.

- If there's a company in the CRM with a matching domain, the contact is automatically associated with that company.

- Scenario:

  - You've previously added a company with the domain `example.com`.
  - Later, you create a contact with the email `john@example.com`.

- Automatic Linking:

  - Concord CRM will recognize `example.com` in John's email.
  - John's contact record will automatically be linked to the company with the `example.com` domain.

Auto-association of companies with contacts is triggered only for newly created contacts without manual company associations.
