How do I import, export or sync my contacts and address book?

You can import (and export) your contacts by going to the Relationships tab and then clicking on the export or import buttons in the submenu.

You can export your contacts in either the vCard or CSV format.

You can import your contacts in the vCard format only. If your contacts are not currently in the vCard format, there are numerous vCard converters available.

ShootQ does not synchronize address books with any apps at the moment, but it's definitely something we're considering and looking into.

Yes, please, having SQ sync to address book would be nice, then my clients will show up on my phone when they call, otherwise I have to do it manualy with an import of their vcard for each one.

As an interim step to sync, being able to export a filtered set of contacts in bulk would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

Would love if ShootQ synched with Apple Mail (it would benefit the iphone app users, too, i would think?)

Bill, i believe this can be done... under the business tab, then below click  the marketing tab in between analytics and billing.. (close the mad mimi ad?) then you can filter based on roles, dates, etc..  :)

The import doesn't seem to work for me. I get a yello-box message saying there were no changes found and my contacts are up-to-date, but it says the upload was successful.

Also, bulk upload of CSV would be a life-saver. I've got a mailing list in Excel from a vendor-partner of nearly 700 pre-qualified customers. That's a lot of manual importing of individual vCard files to do.

I agree with Bill!  A CSV import option of lead lists would be EXTREMELY helpful!! :)

Thanks!

Sync. Sync. Sync.  It would be the epic.

YES! Please get syncing tweaked in. This would be one less thing to have to do manually and we all know that ShootQ is all about doing things automagically. Even if it can be setup to sync with a group of contacts within Address Book (or similar app) that would be wonderful.
