What is Coda?
Coda is a flexible doc and database workspace that blends pages, tables, and automations. Some teams track contacts there, but records are generic rows and pages that suit notes and tasks more than relationship timelines or sales workflows.
Why switch from a Coda doc to a CRM for contacts?
A CRM is designed to manage relationships from first touch to closed deal. You get enrichment, deduplication, reminders, activity timelines, and reporting so contacts move forward without constant manual upkeep.
