Introduction

Welcome to DropCard's private beta.

What is DropCard?

Use DropCard to share your contact information via email.

• Give a good impression.
  Your information is cleanly formatted an easy to read.
• Make yourself memorable.
• The recipient is one or two tap/clicks away from saving your data to their device.

What is the goal of the beta release, and why is it "private"?

We think the site is ready for people to use (you are not being used as a "dogfood" tester), but we want to start with a small number of people, that we know will give us feedback and criticisms.

Our goal is to win you over, and then let you start inviting people as well.

A quick start to DropCard

Receive the invite

You should have received an invitation via email.

• Subject: Invitation instructions

• From: DropCard <donotreply@dropcard.io>

• Tap/Click on "Accept invitation"

Create your account

The invitation has a 's link that takes you to an account creation screen "Set Your Password" where you enter:

• enter a "username" - this is a display name used as a default value
• a password

When you are done, you will be able to login to the site, using

• email address (that you were invited to)
• the password you created.

My first time

Once you login, please go into "My accounts" and enter the name you want to use on your cards in the "First Name" and "Last Name" fields. Generally speaking, this will work better than your "username".

Then in the main screen, enter the phone numbers and emails you want to include in your DropCard.

• if you don't set your "First Name" and "Last Name".
• a password (twice)

Add your profile and contact info

Use "My Accounts" to add your name and/or work info

• Tap "My Account" in the heading
• Enter Name Info and Work Info
• Tap/click "Update User" button to save.

Use the main screen to add Phone numbers and Email addresses

• Tap the "pencil" icon.
• Select a label
• Enter phone number of email.
• Tap-click on "Update (...)" button

(We use the same labels as Apple Contacts in iOS and macOS.)

Sending DropCards

Send a card to yourself.

• Once you do that, you should send a card to yourself, so you can see DropCard in action.
• Click on the big blue "Send Your Contact Info" button.
• Enter the email address or addresses
• If you want to add a personal note, enter that.
• Look at the preview of your information to confirm what you are sending.
• Click the big blue"Send CardMail" button.

Signon and Signoff

When you are done, you will be able to login to the site, using

• email address (that you were invited to)
• the password you created.
