Summary. GoHighLevel's mobile business card scanner removes manual data entry when you meet someone in person. Hold a business card in front of your phone camera inside the LeadConnector or white-label app, and the scanner captures the name, phone number, and email. After a quick confirmation tap, the contact is saved to your CRM with all the details filled in. This makes it practical to add contacts on the spot at networking events or conferences.
Steps
Open the LeadConnector or White-Label App
Launch the GoHighLevel mobile app on your phone. The scanner works in both LeadConnector and any white-label version of the app.
Go to the Contacts Screen and Tap the Plus Button
Navigate to the Contacts section. Tap the plus button to open the options menu, then select Scan Business Card.
Alternatively, Use the Lightning Bolt Icon
From the Contacts screen, tap the lightning bolt shortcut icon and choose Scan Business Card from that menu as a faster route.
Point the Camera at the Business Card
The camera opens automatically. Hold the business card steady in the frame. The app captures the card automatically without requiring you to press a button.
Review and Save the Contact
The scanned details appear on screen, including name, phone number, and email. Check that everything looks correct, then tap the checkmark in the top right to save the contact to your CRM.
