What It Is & How It Works
The Capsule Mobile app includes many features needed while on the go - view and add data, initiate calls and complete Tasks. Use the app offline and your changes will sync back to Capsule when you're online.
How To Get The App:
The Capsule mobile app can be used by any User and is available for both iPhone and Android users with:
- iOS 15+
- Android 8+
How To Log In
When you first open the app, you'll be prompted to connect your Capsule account. You'll be asked to enter in your site name before you enter in your Username and Password.
How to use Contacts in the Mobile App
You can manage your existing Contacts, add new ones, check notes, Opportunities, Projects, and Tasks that are associated with that Contact. You’ll be able to access your Contacts whether your device is online or offline.
How to create Contacts from your phone
- Start by tapping the Contacts icon on the menu bar.
- Choose the Add new icon in the upper right- hand side of the screen.
- Select which type of Contact to add; Add Person or Organization
- Enter in your Contact’s details
- Tap Save in the upper right-hand side of the screen.
Importing your phone Contacts into the App
You can import Contacts from your phone into Capsule Mobile. To import a new Contact:
- Navigate over to Contacts
- Tap the Add new and select Import Contact.
- There are some limitations to what can be imported, as there are certain details that need to be in place. For example, a Person will need either a first and/or last name and an Organization will need an Organization name.
The import process works hand-in-hand if you have an app to scan business cards on your device. With the card scanning app, you can save the Contact to your device and then import it into your account using the Capsule Mobile app.
Here are some examples of popular business card scanning apps:
- iOS: CamCard or Contacts+ | AddressBook
- Android CamCard

Caller ID
Whether a Contact is stored in your phone’s address book or only stored in Capsule’s Contacts section, the Caller ID feature will display your Contact’s name so you’ll never need to guess who is on the other end of the incoming call.
