A Quick Demo of Google Contacts Sync

Let's take a look at how easy it is to send a contact from vTiger to Google using Boru Google-vTiger Contact Sync, the first of many Google Apps Integrations.

If it's your first time using the sync, you'll have to authorize vTiger to access your Google Contact data. You only have to do this once. Just go to 'My Preferences':

Go to My Preferences and authorize vTiger to access Google Contacts data

Click the link to begin the authorization process.

If you don't have and authorization token, you'll be asked to get one from Google.

Click 'Grant Access' and you're all set.

The default settings only send Contacts that are assigned to you. You can change this to match any of your Contact filters on the Settings Page. For now, we'll just create a new Contact assigned to our demo user.

Create a Contact in vTiger.

As soon as you save the contact, it is sent to your Google account.

You'll immediately find the Contact in your Google Contact list.

The sync will be available early next week. Contact Boru for more information.

Google Contact Sync Update

We have been making steady progress on our Google Contact Sync. It is almost ready for public consumption as a beta.

One of the main slowdowns was changing the authorization method to AuthSub. We think it is well worth the wait. By using AuthSub, users can grant vTiger access to their Google Contact information without disclosing their password to the vTiger host. This means that your vTiger provider can only access the data you specifically allow, and you can revoke access at any time without having to reset your password.

How it works in brief: The first time you sync your contacts with vTiger, you will be taken to a Google web page where you enter your password and grant vTiger access to your Contacts. Google then sends a token to vTiger that vTiger will use in lieu of a password. The metaphor Google uses is a valet key, which gives the valet limited access to your car. He can drive it for instance, but can not open the trunk.

Expect an announcement here and on our website in the next couple of weeks.

Automatically Send Transactions to QuickBooks

In vTiger-QuickBooks 1.1 you can set conditions for automatically transferring vTiger Invoices, Quotes, and Sales Orders based on status.

Just set check the statuses in the vTiger Settings page and when a transaction changes to that status, it will automatically transfer to QuickBooks.


This is just one more way that we have made vTiger and QuickBooks more convenient.
