You can recognize a business card by clicking the “Camera” icon or from the “Gallery” by clicking the “Image” icon below.

 

                                             

 

Important note: Prior to scanning don’t forget to check if you have a tick on “Upload Card Image” in “Preferences” menu if you want the image to be saved into your CRM directly!

 

4) Check/Edit the scanned info + Enrichment
   After you scan the business card info you are able to check the info plus insert new information. If you want to enrich data you need to click on “Get more” button. You can get additional person’s info: social network account, company name, department etc. You can choose from the list what data you want to add and click “Save”. All this information will be automatically added to your recognized info.

 

  

 

5) Add a note or a voice note
