Tabla for customer records

A customer database that remembers who to chase.

People, the companies they work for, and the follow-ups you meant to make.

Two tables, already laid out: people, the companies they work for, and the date you last spoke to each of them. Sort by that date and the top of the list is who you owe a reply. One record per person, one per company, and a real link between them.

A record from the starter, not a mock-up — it’s there when you sign in, with four more like it.

What you land in

Two tables, already linked.

Choose Contacts when you sign in and this opens — eight fields on People, six on Companies, five example people, and the join between them already drawn.

Relationship comes with four choices — customer, supplier, lead, partner — because most small businesses are tracking all four in the same list and calling it a CRM. The link comes back the other way as a field on Companies, so one company record lists everyone who works there. Rename any of it — a client database is this one with the first choice renamed.

The difference

The follow-up list maintains itself.

Three things that stop happening once the list is typed rather than typed-in.

A company is a record

People point at Companies, so a company exists once. Fix a website or a headcount and everyone who works there is already right.

“Acme Ltd” and “Acme Ltd.” stop being two customers.

Last contact is a date

Which means it sorts. Which client has gone quiet longest is one sort on the view, not something you work out by reading down a list of text.

Not “last week?” typed into a cell in March.

Owing a reply is a view

Filter where follow-up is ticked, sort by last contact, save it. It’s a tab that’s current every time you open it, for everyone on the table.

Not a list somebody rewrites on Monday.

In and out

New leads can add themselves.

The two things that keep a customer table from going stale: a way in that isn’t you, and a way out to whatever sends the mail.

A form on the website

Publish a form, put it behind “get in touch”, and every enquiry arrives as a record in People — no account needed to fill it in.

A webhook when one lands

Tabla posts to any URL on a condition you set — Make, n8n, or your own endpoint. That is where a welcome email gets sent from.

Start with the list you already have.

The starter opens with five people and four companies in it, and a spreadsheet of your own drops straight in — download it as CSV and put it on the import screen.
