How companies get created
TalkValue groups people by their primary email’s domain. Every@northwind.io address rolls up under one Northwind company record, every @acme.com address under one Acme record. The grouping happens on import, in real time. No separate step.
The list page shows three columns:
- Domain. The raw email domain (e.g.
northwind.io). This is the identity of the company and cannot be changed. - Display name. A human-readable name that overrides the domain in tables and detail pages. Defaults to “Not set” until you edit it.
- People. How many distinct people in your workspace share this domain.
Override the display name
The domain is not always the name you want shown. Override it solinkedin.com reads “LinkedIn” and northwind-corp.io reads “Northwind”. You can override the display name from the company detail page.
The domain remains the identity; changing display name does not regroup people. To move people between companies, change the source data and re-import.
Company detail page
Opening a company shows the company name, the domain (with a quick link out to the company’s website), an auto-fetched logo, and a roster of every person at that company. The roster is the same table you see on the People page, scoped to just this domain. Apply the same event, channel, and job-title filters to narrow the roster to a specific segment of this company’s contacts.Logos load automatically. TalkValue fetches a company logo from a public logo service based on the domain. If no logo is available, the page falls back to the company’s initials in a neutral badge.
Edge cases
- Personal email domains. Addresses on
gmail.com,outlook.com, and similar are grouped together as one “company” per domain. Treat the display name as a label rather than as a real organization. - Subdomains. TalkValue groups by the full domain, so
eng.acme.comandacme.combecome two companies. Use the display-name override if you want them to read the same in the UI. - Renamed companies. Changing display name does not rename the underlying domain. If a company rebrands their email domain, new sign-ups land under the new domain; historical contacts stay under the old one until you re-import.
