Adding an Activity

Learn how to log calls, meetings, and other interactions in Officaid to track your engagement.

Build your relationship history one interaction at a time

Every call, meeting, and message is a building block in your business relationships. Logging activities in Officaid creates a complete history of your engagement, helps you track follow-ups, and keeps your team informed about what's happening with each contact and deal.

Where to Add Activities

You can add activities from several places in Officaid:

  • Network → Interactions - From the main Interactions dashboard
  • Contact profile - Click Add Activity in Quick Actions
  • Company profile - Click Add Activity in Quick Actions
  • Deal details - Click Add Activity in the Sales Pipeline

The activity form adjusts based on where you create it, linking the activity to the relevant contact, company, or deal automatically.

Creating an Activity

  1. 1 Navigate to where you want to add the activity (contact, company, deal, or Interactions dashboard)
  2. 2 Click Add Activity in the Quick Actions panel or the + Add Activity button
  3. 3 Select the activity type by clicking one of the icons at the top
  4. 4 Enter the activity title in the Activity field
  5. 5 Fill in additional fields based on where you're creating the activity
  6. 6 Optionally add notes or remarks
  7. 7 Toggle Mark as done if the activity is already completed
  8. 8 Click Add Activity to save

Activity Types

Select the type that best describes your interaction:

  • Call - Phone calls and voice conversations
  • Message - Text messages, WhatsApp, or other messaging
  • Email - Email correspondence
  • Meeting - In-person or virtual meetings
  • Other - Any interaction that doesn't fit the standard categories
  • Meal - Lunches, dinners, or coffee catch-ups
  • Task - To-dos or action items to complete
Choose the activity type carefully. It helps you filter and analyze your engagement patterns later.

Activity Fields

The fields available depend on where you create the activity:

From a Contact Profile:

  • Activity - Title or description of the interaction
  • Notes - Optional rich text notes about the activity
  • Mark as done - Toggle on if the activity is already completed

The activity is automatically linked to that contact.

From a Company Profile:

  • Activity - Title or description of the interaction
  • Contacts - Select one or more contacts associated with this company
  • Notes - Optional rich text notes about the activity
  • Mark as done - Toggle on if the activity is already completed

From a Deal:

  • Activity - Title or description of the interaction
  • Date - When the activity is scheduled or occurred
  • Remarks - Optional notes about the activity
  • Mark as done - Toggle on if the activity is already completed

The activity is automatically linked to the deal for sales tracking.

Activities created from deals don't have a Contacts field because they're linked to the deal itself. The deal is already associated with a company, providing the relationship context.

Scheduling vs Completed Activities

The Mark as done toggle determines whether an activity is scheduled or completed:

  • Toggle off - The activity is scheduled for the future and will appear in Upcoming Activities
  • Toggle on - The activity is already completed and will appear in History

Use scheduled activities for follow-ups, planned calls, and upcoming meetings. Use completed activities to log interactions that have already happened.

Get in the habit of logging activities immediately after they happen. It only takes a moment and keeps your records accurate.

Adding Multiple Contacts

When creating an activity from a company profile, you can tag multiple contacts:

  1. 1 Click the Contacts field
  2. 2 Select contacts from the dropdown (only contacts linked to this company appear)
  3. 3 Click additional contacts to add them
  4. 4 Click the X next to a contact to remove them

This is useful for meetings or calls that involve several people from the same company.

Frequently Asked Questions

They serve the same purpose but appear in different contexts. Notes appears when creating activities from contacts or companies and includes rich text formatting. Remarks appears when creating activities from deals and is a simpler text field.

Activities need to be linked to a contact, company, or deal to provide context. If you're logging a general task, consider creating it from the Interactions dashboard and linking it to the most relevant contact.
