Loved by professionals everywhere
See why thousands of people trust CardAction for their networking workflow.
"Came back from a trade show with 40 cards. Scanned them all on the cab ride back. My Google Sheet was already updated before I got to the hotel."
"I see so many people at open houses it's hard to keep track. Now I scan a card in the driveway and the WhatsApp's already out before I've driven away. That part still feels a little weird."
"We were copy-pasting card info into HubSpot by hand for months. Set up the webhook and now it just... shows up. My co-founder didn't believe me until I showed her."
"Put the whole team on this at our last event. 500+ attendee cards — what used to take three days of data entry was done by morning. Had to double-check a handful of handwritten ones, but that's maybe 8 out of 500."
"Was at a dinner with basically no signal when someone handed me a card. Scanned it anyway. Everything came through fine when I got back on WiFi. Didn't expect that to just work."
"Scanned 30 cards at a product launch, no typos, no fuss. Deleted the notes app I'd been using for two years."
"I scan a founder's card while we're still talking. By the time they leave the table I've already sent something. Hard to overstate how much that changes the dynamic."
"Scanned 200+ cards — a lot of them with odd layouts or tiny print — and I've had to fix maybe 2 or 3 fields in total. That number genuinely surprised me."
"I've got folders going back over a year now. Conference in Austin, pitch nights, client dinners. Finding someone from eight months ago in a couple seconds is more useful than I expected."
