When to use it, when not to

Use it

  • Use it when deals get created without a contact attached: bulk import, API-created deals, deals cloned from another record.
  • Use it as a lightweight companion to deal-hygiene-017 (missing company), build both together since they share the same structure.

Skip it

  • Do not use it on pipelines where deals are legitimately contact-less, for instance a pure account-based renewal pipeline tracked at company level only. Exclude those pipelines.
  • Do not treat the flag alone as a blocker. Pair it with a native required-association setting if you want it enforced, not just flagged.
