I just downloaded Maildrop. I look forward to using it with Mail.app! I noticed in the screenshot on the Maildrop site (http://www.pocketsoap.com/osx/maildrop/) a few additional scripts under the two Salesforce.com items -- Create Event, Create Note, Create Task. Are these specific to Entourage or are these related to Salesforce.com? It would be great to have these three items as Maildrop salesforce options.
I've built a number of OSX app's that integrate with Salesforce.com, all of them are free.
Maildrop - easily copy emails from Mail.app or Entourage to Salesforce Trapdoor - manage all your saleforce logins on the keychain and quickly login as any of them. SoqlXplorer - a developer to explore your salesforce.com schema, and try out queries, generate schema reports. ZKSFoirce - an open source Cocoa library for the Salesforce.com API
Still Beta SF3 - synchronized contact, events & tasks between salesforce and addressbook / iCal Quicksilver plugin - quickly search and upload documents to saleforce.com from Quicksilver. sfdcFuse - using macFuse, mount your salesforce.com document repository as a real OSX volume.
Being a newbie to the product I posted this query in the Excel Connector section. To those of you who use SF and Mac perhaps you can help ....
I use a Mac (iBook) using OX 10.4.8 My partners use PC's. We have thousands of business cards which need to be scanned using IrisCard. It seems to me that IrisCard (IrisScan) is a bit limited in the types of file formats I can create. SF likewise is limited, accepting only .csv files. I do not use Outlook and since it appears SF does not work in a simple way with Entourage, it seems my only choice is to get the scanned data into an Excel file and map all fields to match SF. Which to my untutored mind is a whole lot of work and not a lot of fun.
Does anyone have experience with Mac's, SF, and importing business cards? And have you found a simpler or more direct way to get this info into SF? And will you tell me how?!?
