Capture all your Email in Big Contacts

Introducing the Big Contacts Email Dropbox

Did you know you can see all of your email traffic with a contact, even if you don't use Big Contacts to send email? Simply configure your email client to auto-bcc and auto-forward your email to your Big Contacts email dropbox. Let's say you have a few emails back and forth with a supplier about a new ship date. All this email back-and-forth takes place in Outlook. As long as you have a contact with that email address, it will be saved for you. Log into Big Contacts, pull up the contact and you can see all of the emails! Any email attachments are saved in the files table, for easy download any time you need to find it. No more searching through your inbox looking for an attachment.

Go to the Admin tab and the Users section. Click on 'request a email dropbox' next to a user's name and a dropbox will be created. We are working on detailed instructions for configuring different email clients. Stay tuned.

Hello,

I just signed up for a free account in order to test your system.

From what I've done/used I can say it's excellent and, once my partner gives it a try, I'm pretty sure we'll upgrade to a paying account.

I have a question related to e-mail linking: what and where is my e-mail drop box? I'd like to set the bcc in Outlook to link e-mails to contacts in BigContact.

Thank you very nuch,

Johanna Hoffmann

Do you have any instructions for outlook or web based email providers in order to set the bcc automatically?
