Send scanned data to Google Sheets, n8n, Make, Zapier, your CRM, or any webhook endpoint. Share your own contact instantly via a vCard QR code — generate your vCard 4.0 QR right inside the app.
No manual typing. You and your team get the data exactly where you need it. Your digital Rolodex, reinvented.
CardAction is the business card scanner built for professional networkers, sales teams, and event-goers who need to act fast. It's the only card scanner that immediately connects a scanned contact to outreach — WhatsApp, SMS, email, or direct dial — with personalised, templated messages using the contact's own name.
# Key Features
- Auto-Scan: Hold your phone over any business card, namecard, or name card. Live on-device OCR captures every field automatically — no shutter button needed.
- Tap-to-Scan: Prefer a single shot? Tap once to scan. Great for low-light or tricky conditions.
- Batch Scanning: Power through a stack of 20 cards after an event. Scan them all, then review and save contacts in one go.
- Card Photo Library: Every contact saved alongside a photo of their physical card — your digital business card organiser.
- Instant Action Shortcuts: One tap to launch WhatsApp, SMS, or Email with pre-filled messages using {name} variables.
- Quick Dial & Drop: Call and immediately hang up to share your number as a missed call.
- Organised Network: Sort contacts into custom, colour-coded folders — Clients, Investors, Events, BNI, and more.
- Smart Deduplication: Automatic phone and email checks so you never import the same contact twice.
- vCard Export: Share any contact as a standard .vcf vCard file instantly — full vCard 4.0 support. Import the .vcf into any address book or CRM.
- Full Editor: Drag-to-swap field chips, country code picker, tap-to-assign missed OCR lines.
