[5.0] How to Create an Asset, Contact, & Opportunity

When dropping a pin or tracking a lead in the HailTrace app, you can create an AssetContact, and Opportunity at the same time.

This helps you track the door knock, start monitoring the property for future storm with Impacted Assets, and work the deal through your opportunity pipeline.


InfoRole Requirements: To create Assets and Contacts, you need one of the following roles: Account Owner, Asset User, Asset Admin, DealTrace User, DealTrace Manager, or DealTrace Admin. DealTrace roles also give users access to create and manage Opportunities.
