Contact owners and internal notes

Set who owns a contact, see that owner in the Inbox, filter to your own contacts, and save private notes that stay on the contact.

Every contact has one owner, the team member who handles them. The Inbox shows that owner on each of the contact’s threads. The thread stays visible to the whole team, so the owner is a label rather than a lock.

Change the owner

  1. Open Inbox and select the thread.
  2. Select Open contact.
  3. Change Owner in the contact header and choose a team member.

The thread header shows the new owner when you close the contact. You can also change owners on the Contacts page, one contact at a time or for a selection.

The thread header reads Owner: Unassigned when the contact has no owner.

Find your own threads

Use the filter above the thread list to show Assigned to me, Unassigned, or All threads. These follow the contact’s owner.

Doreach does not currently assign contacts by campaign, account, or round robin. The team chooses owners by hand.

Check the thread before you reply

An owner does not stop another team member from sending a reply. Before you write, check the owner, visible message history, saved draft, and any reply waiting in the send queue.

The Inbox shows queued replies with their planned send time and a Cancel button. A reply can only be cancelled while it still has the Queued state.

Save a note

  1. Select the thread and choose Open contact.
  2. Add private context as a note.

Notes stay on the contact and appear in its activity. They do not become LinkedIn messages.

Doreach does not currently support @mention notifications inside notes. Make the teammate who needs to act the owner, then put the handoff context in the note.

Keep owner and pipeline stage separate

The Owner says who handles the contact. The Stage says where the prospect sits in your pipeline. Update both when you hand work to another team member.

Working the unified inbox explains the reply queue and next-action filters. Lead stages and pipeline lists the available stages.

Common questions

Are notes in Doreach visible to the prospect?
No. Notes saved on a contact are internal to the current Doreach team. Doreach does not send the note to the prospect.
Does an owner prevent another member from replying?
No. The owner shows who handles the contact but does not lock the thread. Every member of the team can still see and reply to it. Check the owner, message history, saved drafts, and queued replies before sending.
Can I assign a thread from the Inbox?
No. The Inbox only shows the owner. Open the contact from the thread and change Owner there, or change it on the Contacts page. You can filter the thread list to Assigned to me or Unassigned.
