Gmail / Yahoo import & invite your contacts!
Today, we launched a new functionality on Whispurr: the possibility to extract your contacts from Gmail and Yahoo Mail!
With these new functionalities, you can:- Import the contacts you have in either Gmail or Yaho
- See which of these contacts are already on Whispurr - to follow them or Whispurr with them!
- Invite the contacts that are not yet registered to join Whispurr!
How does it work?
- Click to "Find People" section - you will see the Gmail and Yahoo icons on the right side
- Click to the icon - and you will be directed to the Gmail or Yahoo page
- This page is hosted by Gmail / Yahoo and Whispurr doesn't have access to the information you insert there
- So you can safely insert your login and password - and grant the access for Whispurr to access your contacts (but we don't get your password - privacy is crucial for us)
- Then, you will be back on Whispurr with all your contacts on the left side of the screen.
- Select from the list the contacts you wish to invite to Whispurr
- If you have many contacts, use the pagination below to go through all of them
- And then simply click on "Send email" to invite your contacts
Whispurr uses oauth to connect to Gmail and Yahoo. This means that when you decide to connect to Gmail, we cannot access to your password information as you confirm them under the Gmail or Yahoo pages. Once you grant the access to Whispurr, Gmail / Yahoo issue a special authorization key to Whispurr to extract your contacts. This authorization is not stored, nor your contact list.
