Digital business cards that capture their details, not just share yours

A TapIQ digital business card is a branded profile that opens in the phone's browser, with nothing for the person receiving it to install. The contact it captures reaches your CRM without anyone typing.

A digital business card is a page, not a file

A vCard is a file. Someone downloads it, it lands in their contacts, and from that moment it is a copy of who you were on the day you sent it. A TapIQ digital business card is a hosted profile with its own address, and the address is what you hand over.

The profile is branded: a cover image, your photo, your name, your role, your company, the social handles you choose to show, and a stack of action buttons underneath. It opens in whatever browser is already on the visitor's phone. They install nothing, scan nothing and create no account.

There is more than one way to open it. A link works on its own. So does one tap of an NFC card, which is programmed to open a chosen profile before it ships. Because the chip points at the profile rather than carrying your details, the card does not have to change when your details do.

The physical card, the chip and the tap itself are covered on the NFC business cards page (/nfc-business-cards). This page is about the profile and everything that happens after it opens.

• Opens in the browser on iPhone and Android — no app download and no QR code for the person receiving it.
• A branded profile with links, CTAs, social handles, booking pages and event photos.
• The NFC card is programmed to open a specific profile, so the profile is the thing you edit.

What the person who opens it sees

The profile is built for a phone held at arm's length in a busy room. Identity sits at the top — cover image, photo, name, role, company — with your social handles directly beneath it.

Below that is a column of actions, each one a single tap. Save Contact is the one that matters most: it writes your details straight into their phone, with nothing for them to fill in.

Nothing on the profile asks the visitor to sign up, download anything, or work out what to do next.

• Save Contact — your details go into their phone without typing.
• Send a Message — opens their own Messages app, addressed to your TapIQ number.
• Book a Meeting — sends them to your booking page.
• Company Website and Event Photos — the links you want in front of them while they still remember the conversation.

The exchange runs in both directions

Handing over your details is the easy half. Getting theirs is the half that decides whether the conversation continues, and it is the half that usually turns into a pile of badges and business cards to transcribe on the flight home.

TapIQ captures the contact with no manual data entry. When a visitor saves your details, their name, email and phone are captured on your side as a contact record. Nothing is retyped, and nothing waits to be entered later.

Tap-to-Text is the second route. One tap opens the visitor's own Messages app, already addressed to your dedicated TapIQ number. When they send it, the carrier-verified number they sent from becomes a contact through the same capture pipeline.

Be clear about what Tap-to-Text is. It sends one automatic reply per visitor per 24 hours — a greeting, your card link, and a fixed STOP footer. It is not two-way messaging and there is no thread to sit and watch. Numbers are US local numbers, and there is one number per account, attached to one profile.

• Contact capture and exchange with zero manual data entry on either side.
• Tap-to-Text: one tap, one text, a carrier-verified number captured as a contact.
• One automatic reply per visitor per 24 hours, with a STOP footer — not a chat inbox.
• US local numbers only. One number per account, attached to one profile.

One profile per context, with analytics on each one

You are not limited to a single profile. The version you hand out on a trade-show floor does not have to be the version a franchise prospect opens after a site visit.

Every profile carries its own analytics — views, taps, saves and clicks — and those break down by rep, by event and by date. That is the difference between handing out cards and being able to read what happened: which profile got opened, which event actually produced saves, which rep's card is doing work.

Above the individual profiles sits organization-wide brand control. A brand kit is set once at organization level and synced to everyone on the team.

How many profiles you get depends on the plan. There is a free plan, and TapIQ is in beta. Plan details are on the pricing section of the homepage (/#pricing).

• Per-profile analytics: views, taps, saves and clicks.
• Filter by rep, by event and by date.
• A brand kit set once at organization level and synced to the whole team.

Where the captured contact goes next

The record is created the moment the contact is captured. Enrichment then runs asynchronously in the background — a queue, a data provider, a callback — so the profile fills in over minutes rather than seconds. Captured instantly, enriched automatically in the background is the accurate description.

Identity, role and firmographics are the fields that populate automatically from a tap. Alongside them sits a lead score: one persisted number per contact, produced by a rule engine that adds fit points and engagement points. It is a rule engine rather than a model: the number comes from fit points and engagement points, not a black box.

From there, contacts push into the CRM you already use. Salesforce and HubSpot both connect over OAuth, and contacts pushed to Salesforce are deduplicated by email. The push is queued and batched rather than fired on each individual tap, and it covers contacts today — company and account records are not part of the sync yet.

Gmail and Outlook connect as well, including calendar. With a mailbox connected, email and meeting intelligence pulls context from your own threads onto the contact record. Monday.com, GoHighLevel and Slack are connected integrations too; Slack notifications are chosen by event and are not tied to the tap path.

All of it rolls up into a dashboard — KPIs, capture rates and engagement trends in one place, computed when you load or refresh it.

• Captured instantly, enriched automatically in the background.
• Identity, role and firmographics populate automatically from a tap.
• A persisted lead score per contact from a fit-plus-engagement rule engine.
• Contacts pushed to Salesforce and HubSpot over OAuth, deduplicated by email, as a queued batch.
• Gmail and Outlook connected for email and meeting intelligence, including calendar.

What is live today, and what is not

TapIQ is in beta, and a page like this is worth nothing if it is not straight with you about the state of the product. Here is the honest split.

If a capability matters to your decision and it is in the 'not yet' list below, treat it as not there. We would rather lose the deal than have you find out after you have ordered cards for a team.

• Live: the branded profile, contact capture with no typing, Tap-to-Text, per-profile analytics, the lead score, the dashboard, and integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, Monday.com, GoHighLevel, Slack, Gmail and Outlook.
• Background, not instant: enrichment. The contact is captured immediately; the enrichment lands afterwards.
• Conditional: email and meeting intelligence require a connected Gmail or Outlook mailbox and reflect your own threads.
• AI-inferred intent signals on each contact — synthesised from the contact's enrichment data, so they land with enrichment rather than at the tap.
• Not yet live: the stakeholder map is roadmap, not product. CRM sync covers contacts — company and account sync is not live. Mailchimp and QuickBooks are in development.
• A free plan exists. Plan details, seat counts and trials are on the pricing section of the homepage (/#pricing).

Common questions

Does the person I share it with need an app?

No. The profile is a web page, so it opens in whatever browser is already on their phone — no download, no QR code and no account to create. You manage the profile in TapIQ; the person receiving it installs nothing.

Do I need an NFC card to use a digital business card profile?

No. The profile has its own link and works on its own, so you can send it in an email signature, a text or a chat. An NFC card is simply the fastest way to open it in person — one tap, no app — and is covered on our NFC business cards page.

Does the other person have to type their details in?

No. When they save your contact, their name, email and phone are captured on your side as a record. Tap-to-Text is the alternative: one tap opens their Messages app, and the carrier-verified number they send from becomes a contact.

How do captured contacts get into my CRM?

Salesforce and HubSpot connect over OAuth, and contacts are pushed in — deduplicated by email on the Salesforce side. The push is queued and batched rather than fired on every tap, and it covers contacts — company and account records are not synced yet.

How long does enrichment take?

The contact is captured instantly, then enrichment runs in the background through a queue and a data provider, so it takes minutes rather than seconds. Identity, role and firmographics are the fields that fill in automatically, along with the lead score.

Is there a free plan?

Yes, there is a free plan, and TapIQ is currently in beta. Plan details, seat counts and trial lengths are on the pricing section of the homepage.
