As most people are starting to slide into summer holiday more, the Stinto team continues to work on delivering some massive new functionality that will be available after summer. We can’t wait to show you what we have been working on, but you will have to wait a little longer. In the meantime, here is a sneak peek into the new features that you can look forward to: Personal CRM Who said a CRM is only for the selected few in the sales department? We want to help you grow and leverage your contacts to build a strong network. Until now you have been able to make notes on a contact to remember the relation or a certain task you should perform. We are taking that to the next level with reminders that further enhance the personal CRM concept. On each contact, you can set a reminder. You can do it as a one time action, eg. ‘send proposal’, ‘call and congratulate on new job’, ‘Invite for dinner’, or a recurring action, eg. ‘Call mom’, ‘Check upon delivery’, ‘Congratulate on birthday’ This will help you to stay in touch with the contacts that matter to you the most, both professionally and personally. Group update One of the features that many use is ‘groups’, where you can create groups for selected contacts. Groups are starting to form everywhere and Stinto users are using the functionality for everything from groups at professional network events, communities of practice, company alumni, and even sporting, school and even maternity groups. With a popular feature comes feedback and we have listened. Therefore groups will receive an update to include a simple messaging board where you can make announcements to your group for everyone to read, eg. ‘We will meet in the reception at 9.00’, ‘Next meeting is on Thursday’, ‘remember to bring a towel’. On top of that, you are now also able to invite non-Stinto users to a group. This means that you can create a list of contacts that you want in your group, and Stinto will send an invitation to join Stinto and join the group. Now there is no excuse for not throwing out your old call lists, and make them digital! Last but not least, you will be able to create “public” or “private” groups, that can be configured to be “open” or “closed”, giving you more control over the usability and value of the group. Bulk card sharing With the next update, you can send your card to multiple users at once. This makes it easier and faster to share your contact card and receive dynamic contact details back from the contacts that matter to you the most. Have a great summer, and remember to Stay in Touch!
Summer/product update
It has been a couple of months since our last product update, but rest assured, the Stinto team has been working hard to deliver a number of new and cool developments and features that we are really proud of. Here is an overview of what we have delivered in the last two months: Android Many people have been requesting an Android version of Stinto and now it’s here. Available in the Google Play Store. Stinto on web Our frontend developers have been crunching hard to release the first ever web-based version of Stinto. Check it out on web.stinto.com! Groups We have released our new and requested Groups functionality. Now Stinto users can create groups with their existing Stinto contacts to share group members contact details. We have big plans for this functionality in the coming months, which will include the ability to create public and private groups, communication via the group message board, and the ability to invite non-Stinto users to groups. We are very excited about the possibilities to bring more value to our users via this functionality. QR Stinto has made sharing contact details even easier, via the availability of personal QR codes. To send your contact details in an instant, simply generate your personal QR code and hold it in front of the receiving party’s camera. The QR code will automatically transfer your contact details to the pending list of the receiving party. It can not be easier! Call identification Finally for this update, a small feature that brings big value to our users. Stinto can now identify inbound calls coming from your Stinto contacts. This really kills the final excuse for using a traditional IOS or Android phone book, compared to Stinto. We sincerely hope that our users enjoy these new features, and as always we would love to hear any and all feedback on support@stinto.com.
March 2019 Product Update
Another big month of development at Stinto that has bought some big, but essential changes to our product. Here is an overview of what we released in March: Pending list Stinto is now easier than ever to manage your inbound connections. When receiving cards from your contacts, they will now appear in a “pending” list, under “My contacts”. From here, you can “accept” or “decline” the card. Not only does this feature increase transparency in relation to receiving new cards, but it also paves the way for other important features being released this month, including: “find duplicates”, “introductions”, “shout-out” and “reassignment” Push notifications Stinto now also supports push notifications right to the front screen on your mobile device. The latest release of Stinto was developed to handle three push notifications: “Card received”, “Contact details changed” and “My card was forwarded”. This feature will deliver more immediate awareness of the activities occurring on the Stinto network to our users GDPR compliance for non-users Stinto already ensures GDPR compliance when sharing contacts with your company’s CRM between Stinto users, and now, we have gone one step further and have enabled the same level of compliance for non-Stinto users. Now, when sharing the contact card of a non-Stinto user (manual connection) with your company’s CRM, the contact will receive an SMS or email notification, making them aware that their personal data is now being stored in your company’s CRM, and providing a link to your company’s GDPR privacy policy. Improved flow for non-users Finally this month, we have been working hard to optimise the experience when receiving a Stinto card as a non-Stinto user. This is in order to ensure that contact details are shared quickly and efficiently to non-users, and in an attempt to convert them to Stinto users as quickly as possible Over the next month, we will start focusing on more new functionalities, including: a completely new onboarding tutorial, a fully automated email onboarding campaign for enterprise users, call identification when Stinto users are calling, easier sharing with CRM and much, much more! As always, we are really excited about the time ahead, and look forward to bringing you great new features in the coming month!
