Contact Fields

Hi, Firstly loving PODIO and seeing a lot of potential here but really having an issue with contact fields.

I originally set up a separate app for my contacts but then I'm limited in using other add-on services like podiotools which pulls email address from contact fields which I didn't have in my app.

The long and short of it, is there anyway to pull data from a workspace contact field into a separate line item in a calculation field.

Specifically, I'm using @all of address to pull the address field from the contact but it doesn't show up.

I don't really fancy typing in the customers details twice when this should really be basic functionality?

  Hi Lee,

  as far as i know, you only can get the contact name into a calculation field by @contact or @all of contact. You can use the Podio extension GlobiFlow https://podio.com/extensions/2, which can pull the E-mail-Address from workspace contact into a text field.

  Hi Rainer,

  Thanks for your help.

  I think I've just sorted it.

  For anyone else wondering what I've done is the following.

  I'm using mailparser.io to parse incoming emails from my lead generators.

  I'm then using globiflow to create a new item in contacts and automatically creating the new contact in the contact items and also parsing the data into seperate fields inside my contact app.

  Hope that makes sense but so happy it's working :)
