After testing folk for several months, here are my best tips.

| Search contacts | Cmd/Ctrl + F |
| Move to next contact | J / K |

Hidden Features Most People Miss
- 魔法フィールド: Folk’s AI can auto-fill missing contact data like job title, company size, and LinkedIn URL — go to any contact, click “Enrich,” and folk does the research for you.
- Views: Switch any group from spreadsheet view to Kanban, calendar, or list view — hidden in the top-right view switcher and perfect for different workflows.
- Relation Fields: Link contacts to companies, deals, or other contacts to build a full relationship map — most users never set these up and miss out on powerful cross-referencing.
- ザピエール 統合: Connect folk to 5,000+ apps via Zapier to auto-add leads from web forms, calendars, or other CRMs — set it once and your pipeline fills itself.
Folk Common Mistakes to Avoid
Mistake #1: Dumping All Contacts into One Group
❌ Wrong: Importing your entire contact list into a single “All Contacts” group with no segmentation or custom fields.
✅ Right: Create separate groups for Leads, Clients, Partners, and Prospects — each with relevant custom fields — so your outreach stays targeted and your data stays clean.
Mistake #2: Skipping the Email Integration
❌ Wrong: Using folk without connecting Gmail or Outlook, so you manually copy-paste email threads into contact notes.
✅ Right: Connect your email inbox in folk’s settings so every email is auto-logged to the right contact — giving you a full conversation history with zero manual work.
Mistake #3: Ignoring the folkX Chrome Extension
❌ Wrong: Manually typing in contact details from LinkedIn profiles instead of using the folkX extension.
✅ Right: Install folkX and save LinkedIn contacts directly to folk in one click — it captures name, title, company, and email automatically.
Folk Troubleshooting
Problem: Emails Not Syncing from Gmail
Cause: The Gmail integration may have lost its authorization token — this can happen after a Google password change.
修理: Go to Settings → Integrations → Gmail, disconnect the integration, and reconnect it by completing the Google OAuth flow again.
Problem: folkX Extension Not Capturing Contact Data
Cause: LinkedIn occasionally updates its page structure, which can temporarily break folkX’s data extraction.
修理: Check the Chrome Web Store for a folkX update, install the latest version, and reload your LinkedIn tab before trying again.
Problem: Duplicate Contacts Appearing in Folk
Cause: Contacts imported from multiple sources (CSV, LinkedIn, Gmail) can create duplicate records if the same email address is listed differently.
修理: Use folk’s built-in deduplication tool — go to Settings → Contacts → Find Duplicates, review the suggested merges, and confirm to clean up your database.
Problem: Email Campaign Not Sending
Cause: Folk requires a connected email account to send campaigns — if your email integration is disconnected, sends will fail silently.
修理: Go to Settings → Integrations, verify your Gmail or Outlook connection is active, then retry the campaign send.
📌 注記: If none of these fix your issue, contact folk support via the in-app chat bubble or at help.folk.app.
