Just Added: vCard Import

Just Added: vCard Import

Daniel Tsang - June 25/2008

While our dev team is busily working on our next big release, we’ve decided to release some new functionality that you can enjoy in the mean time. This morning we added a new vCard import tool which allows you to import client records from vCards into your FreshBooks account. vCards can be exported from a number of programs including Mac OSX’s Address Book.

To try out the new vCard import tool:

Login to your FreshBooks account.
Click on your white “Settings” link on the top right corner.
Click on your blue “Import/Export” link under “Step 3″.
Click on your blue “vCard (e.g. Mac OSX Address Book)” link.
Select the vCard and click your Upload button.
Review your data and click on your Import button when finished.

I am so pleased with Freshbooks. It saves me time and keeps me in control of my cash-flow. My main gripe has been double data entry from my Mac to the Freshbooks App, and that is no more.

Freshbooks listens to their customer requests. The Technology Dojo team thanks you for your powerful tool, and that tool is you ability to listen to your customers.

With folks like Freshbooks around Entrepreneurs can get work done.

You guys are awesome!

You listen what the customers want and deliver. Have you thought of developing a CRM application with the same philosophy and business model as FreshBooks? I know that it would be a hit!!!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. Currently, we are devoted to the continual improvement of FreshBooks by adding features that make your lives easier and save you time (while keeping the FB interface simple and easy to use). While we don’t have any short term plans to develop a CRM application, we do have potential plans to look at developing other applications in the future. Thanks for letting us know what you are looking for Eugene.

Cheers,
