Settings

Groundhogg has a "settings" tab located at Groundhogg > Settings

The Settings page by default comes with eight tabs( General, Compliance, Email, Tags, API, Integrations, Misc, Licenses) Additional extensions/add-ons can increase the tab count or add to a specific tab.

The "General" tab is a section where you can fill in your business's details. This information will show up at the bottom of all your emails. The tab has two extra options: the first one, "Default Contact Owner", lets you choose the main contact person for your business from a list of admin users. This contact person will be automatically assigned to any new contacts you create unless you choose a different one. The second option is called "Sync All User Meta". When you turn this on, any changes you make to a user's profile in WordPress will be immediately reflected in their contact information.
