What details are imported

ServiceM8 uses the selected contact’s organisation name as the client name when available. If there is no organisation name, ServiceM8 uses the contact’s first and last name.

ServiceM8 imports the first postal address, phone number and email address. Available personal and contact details are added as the client’s primary billing contact.
