What a feed is

A timeline that attaches to the record, not to the person. The memory of the system.

The definition

Every contact and every engagement has a feed: a timeline of everything that happened — notes, voice notes, uploaded documents, stage changes.

The important part is that a feed attaches to the record, not to whoever wrote it. When a colleague leaves, the history of their accounts stays exactly where it was. That difference is the whole reason feeds exist.

What lands in a feed

  • Typed notes
  • Decisions — a note deliberately marked as one
  • Voice notes
  • Uploaded documents
  • A meeting card
  • Pipeline stage changes
  • Tasks created or closed
  • An indicator threshold breach

Three scopes, three different behaviours

An engagement's feed belongs to that engagement. An organisation's feed carries its own items and rolls up its engagements' items too — so a client's page is the whole story of that client.

A person's feed stays separate: an item on a person has exactly one home and never leaks into the feed of an organisation where that person holds a seat. Your note about a named individual does not merge into the note about the company.

One item can appear in several feeds at once (cross-posting), but it is still one item: edit it once, and deleting it removes it everywhere.

An edit is never invisible

Change the body of a post and the edit is timestamped. A post that has been edited is distinguishable from an original.

That is deliberate: a feed is the firm's internal record, and a record that can be rewritten without a mark is not a record.
