Resources and further reading:
Adding a new customer
If you use a supported billing system, ChartMogul imports customers and creates customer records automatically. Learn more about the event that triggers the import in your billing system’s integration guide.
For custom data sources, there are three options for adding customers:
- Manually — Add customers directly to your custom data source.
- CSV — Upload customers as CSV to your custom data source.
- Import API — Import customers using our API.
Customers can also be imported using our Google Sheets app or by adding them as a manual customer.
Sections of a customer record
Header
- Avatar — ChartMogul fetches a logo using Clearbit. If no logo can be located, ChartMogul fetches an avatar using Gravatar. If neither can be located, a stylized initial letter of the company name or customer name is automatically generated.
- MRR — the customer’s current monthly recurring revenue for active and past due subscriptions.
- ARR — the customer’s current annual run rate for active and past due subscriptions.
- Net payments — the total amount of successful payments (minus refunds) the customer has made.
- Subscriber since — the length of time since the customer started their first subscription. Hover over to view the exact date and time. (Not visible if customer status is New Lead, Working Lead, Qualified Lead, Unqualified Lead, or Cancelled Subscriber.)
- Customer status — the customer’s current status, either the lead status assigned by a user or a status ChartMogul assigns based on the customer’s subscription. Learn more.
If a customer imported from a supported billing system does not have up-to-date information in ChartMogul (such as a missing invoice), update their record by clicking RE-SYNC.

To delete a customer in ChartMogul, click DELETE. To restore the customer, re-sync your source.

ChartMogul CRM

Contacts
If you’re using ChartMogul CRM, review our setup guide for information about adding contacts.
An individual with a current or past relationship with your business.
To add a contact using the app interface:
- Click ADD CONTACT.
- In the pop-up that opens, enter the contact’s information:
- Source
- First name
- Last name
- Title
- Email address
- Phone number
- Notes
- Additional data points you’ve added as custom attributes. Learn more.
- Click SAVE.
Contacts can also be added in-app using Data Platform or imported using our API or CSV.
It isn’t possible to add contacts to a supported billing system source (excluding Stripe). However, ChartMogul provides an automated workaround: when adding contacts using the app interface to a customer record in a supported billing system source, ChartMogul creates a duplicate customer record (with contacts) in a custom data source and then merges it automatically into the record in your billing system source. Contacts added to duplicate records via the API are also merged automatically into records in a supported billing system source. This happens in the background — all you’ll see is a customer record that includes contacts.
To delete a contact in ChartMogul, click the Dots, then Delete contact. ChartMogul deletes the contact’s data and emails stored in ChartMogul. This doesn’t impact your email inbox.
