How It Works - USB Sync

CompanionLink will sync ACT! with your webOS device. And we'll do it securely and direct using the USB cable that came with your device. No cloud servers hosting your data. No over-the-air data transmission involved. Your data - direct to your device.

CompanionLink works in tandem with the free CL USB Sync app for HP webOS. CL USB Sync includes business-friendly apps for your tasks and notes. Calendar and contacts sync to the native webOS calendar and contacts on the device.

Update: On October 14, 2011, CompanionLink released a webOS sync update that now supports all webOS 2.0 and 3.0 devices, including the HP Touchpad, HP Pre 3, and HP Veer! More info

CompanionLink syncs ACT! contact notes and histories

Contact note items will appear on the handheld device prefaced by the text "(Note)".

Contact histories will appear prefaced by the text "(History)".

To enter a history item on the handheld device, create a contact note prefaced by text in the following format: "m/d/yyyy (History)".

Example:

1/18/2011 (Note) Meeting was held on merger of two...

Any text entered into the contact note that is not formatted as a history item will sync to ACT! as a contact note.

By default, CompanionLink only syncs contact notes from ACT!. You can enable synchronization of ACT! contact histories in CompanionLink, under Advanced Settings -> Note Options.

Why choose CompanionLink for ACT! synchronization?

  • Sync more than 2500 records to mobile devices.
  • Advanced functionality. Sync notes, histories, and opportunities. Link calendar activities to contacts. Option to map activities to your device's calendar or task list. Much more...
  • We don't host your data in the cloud for security reasons. We believe you own your data.
  • Sync with older versions of ACT! (as far back as ACT! 3.0).
  • DejaOffice (for Android and iOS) is a free and robust solution that replicates the ACT! experience on mobile devices.

Sync your PC tasks with Google Tasks

CompanionLink offers two options to sync tasks with Google:

  1. Tasks sync to Google Tasks. Your PC tasks sync to Google's native task list, however, Google currently does not sync tasks with any device.
  2. Tasks sync to Google Calendar. Your PC tasks sync to Google Calendar as untimed events. This allows your tasks to sync with your device via the calendar.

Both options are available in CompanionLink 5. If you rely heavily on tasks, we recommend using one of our other sync methods that syncs tasks directly with your device.
