Topic: How are you using Highrise? / Highrise - HTML Form + Email Marketing

You could work around this by doing the following:

1.) Collect whatever info you need on the web-form
2.) Submit the form to some kind of script (PHP, etc) that will send an email to your dropbox with all the form data in the body in such a format that Highrise detects everything and sets up a new contact (this may require some trial and error)

Topic: How are you using Highrise? / Using Highrise offline?

If you’re worried about not having your HR contacts with you when you’re away from the computer, try WhoBook MOBI

I programmed it using the HR API – it’s a mobile web interface for Highrise to be used on your cell phone.

You can checkout WhoBook MOBI – my web app that does exactly what you’ve described – provides a mobile interface to Highrise. It also supports SMS access.

Try it out and let me know what you think – it’s free.

I’ve put together a mobile-web optimized interface to Highrise using the API. It’s called WhoBook

It provides access to your Highrise contacts, companies, and tasks via mobile-web and SMS.

Try it out (it’s free forever) and let me know what you think.

Topic: Feature Requests / Adding more info for a phone #

I think it would be great that instead of having the “Home”, “Work”, etc drop down, it was just a text field, so you could decide on your own how to categorize it.

Is it not possible to display a list of tags for a given person via API? I can’t find it documented anywhere…

Topic: Feature Requests / Remote Contact Lookup with SMS

Just wanted to let you guys know that I’ve added SMS support to Highrise MOBI. You can text “HRMOBI query” to 41411 and receive an SMS response with that contact’s telephone number.

Enjoy – let me know how it’s working for everyone.

Again – you can signup for the (free) webapp at HighriseHQ.MOBI

Topic: Highrise API / Getting Dropbox Email Address via API

Mark,

It would be great to add this functionality – I want it so that I can create mailto: links similar to those in Highrise – with the dropbox email address automatically filled in as a BCC. Any plans to add this feature?

This is exactly the reason I use Highrise as well, and it’s been a godsend!

Topic: Feature Requests / Remote Contact Lookup with SMS

Hey guys – I’m working on implementing exactly that.

For now – I’ve created a free web app using the Highrise API that will let you use your mobile phone’s browser to lookup contacts in Highrise. See it at HighriseHQ.MOBI

Text messaging support is the next thing on my list.

Enjoy.

Topic: Feature Requests / Highrise on your phone: Free

Hey everyone,

I know that a mobile version of Highrise is a long standing feature request. I’ve been hacking around with the API, and I’ve put together a mobile interface to Highrise. It’s read only, but it’s a start.

It’s located at HighriseHQ.MOBI.

Everything works fine in my limited tests (ie. my Highrise account, and my phone)

Two limitations though:
1.) You must be using a normal user/pw to login to Highrise (not OpenID)
2.) If you have a paid Highrise account, you must disable SSL.

I’ll be working on removing the above restrictions. Until then, I’d love some feedback as you use the site. If you find any bugs, please let me know at admin@highrisehq.mobi

Enjoy!
