Customer relations management (CRM) (FREE)

Introduced in GitLab 14.6 with a flag named customer_relations. Disabled by default.

FLAG: On self-managed GitLab, by default this feature is not available. To make it available, ask an administrator to enable the feature flag named customer_relations. On GitLab.com, this feature is not available. You should not use this feature for production environments.

With customer relations management (CRM) you can create a record of contacts (individuals) and organizations (companies) and relate them to issues.

You can use contacts and organizations to tie work to customers for billing and reporting purposes. To read more about what is planned for the future, see issue 2256.
