Will 37S respond? We’d really like microformats!

Topic: Feature Requests / Microformats? Some day?

This would be really useful, I wrote an operator script for sending hcards via bluetooth to phones, this is the one place I really, really want to use it and can’t!

Topic: Highrise API / Caller ID highrise

That’s pretty cool. I’m working on something much simpler really, and designed to integrate with any call system, starting with a single land line that has caller id (handy for very small companies) then a plugin interface for any other system. It’ll aim to support the highrise app with easy note creation and contact creation. Also I’ll probably make it free or open source, and as platform agnostic as I can.

You can allow all domains with a wildcard (*) and they already do, go to /crossdomain.xml on your highrise account.

Topic: Highrise API / Caller ID highrise

It’s not a problem to download and cache a few details about all the contacts in the db, mainly the name, number and id. Then those details can be sent immediately to the popup client (I’ll probably use Adobe AIR) over either tcp socket or a HTTP push connection. I’d rather use a socket since HTTP push is a hack. Then the very second the phone rings, or infact before it even starts to ring, you’ll see the name of who’s calling popup on your screen. Within the interface you should be able to browse past notes and add another one. If the user isn’t known to highrise then it could prompt you to fill in some more details.

Topic: Highrise API / Caller ID highrise

This is something I’ve had in the back of my mind for a while but don’t think I’m going to get a chance to write it.

What I want to do is have a computer in our office plugged in to the main phone line via modem, it can then pick up the caller id signals from the exchange when the phone rings. It’ll broadcast that number out to some client software running on desktops in the office. People will get a popup of the incoming call showing the name and company taken from highrise using the phone number.

When you take the call you could click the little icon in the systray and enter notes that will automatically be attached to that call, or fill out the persons details if they don’t yet exist in highrise.

Would anyone be interested in contributing to this as an open source project (if so what technologies do you know?) or would you pay for this as a commercial product?

Topic: Feature Requests / Guess names in search

It would be pretty cool if it could use a list of common names and abbreviations when searching. So Michael would find people called Mike, and Liz would find Elisabeth. Obviously it would only contain very common names, and the results would be ranked lower than exact matches. But it would make finding certain people that little bit quicker.

You could also have something similar for certain surnames, so that MacName would match McName?

Topic: Feature Requests / Campaign Monitor

Well I was reverse engineering the interface that the ajax uses, looking at the possibilities of the .xml extension, and considering parsing your vCards… 30 days doesn’t sound too bad though, I think I can wait :)

Topic: Tips & Tricks / Mass deleting of contacts

duh, i just figured out that curl actually handles number ranges!!

anyway, enjoy the direct link to the windows download, ignore the rest! :)

Topic: Feature Requests / Campaign Monitor

I’ve seen some talk about this but nothing’s really happened. Is anyone aware of any efforts to integrate campaign monitor and highrise?

If there’s nothing then I may start a project myself. If people are keen to help out I may simply release it as an opensource app, I’d be using C#/.NET.

Seems pretty crazy that this is missing

Topic: Tips & Tricks / Mass deleting of contacts

A little walk through, mostly for windows folks.

Download curl

Find the id of the first person from your import (first one in import file, not first in list on highrise) id is the number at the end of the url

Put that id in excel

in the cell below put in = A1+1

copy that down a few hundred

then in next column add

= “curl -u ””user:pass”” -X DELETE http://accountname.highrisehq.com/people/“&A1

copy that down (change people to companies if you need)

copy that column into a text file, save as bat in the same folder as curl

double click it, watch it go!
