Not sure to choose download or hosted version.
We recommend you the hosted version if:
  • Your server does not have OpenSSL installed
  • You need to use our REST server for API purpose
  • You don't want to constantly update the import library
  • You want to minimize load on your server
  • You want to save storage space

How to communicate with REST server?
Any programming language supporting HTTP connection can initiate a simple communication with our REST server. Communication can be made through basic HTTP protocol using POST method. Once data is sent, a XML formatted document will be returned for further phrasing. A PHP version of iPInvite API is included in the package. You may write a simple API script for alternative languages such as Visual Basic, .NET, ASP, Python, Perl and Java.

Where can I get the documentation on communication protocol with the REST server?
The documentation can be downloaded from the members area. It is also included in the ZIP archive.

I'm concerned about my privacy. Does your server store the imported email address and password?
No, we do not store sensitive information including email address and password. Please read our privacy policy. For secured connections, you may activate SSL communication between servers.

I am using an older version of contacts importer hosted version. It is working fine. Why do I have to update?
It is recommended to update as soon as a newer version becomes available. iPlussoft has recently introduced a new communication protocol which only works if the client is updated. While the current server protocol may still work, we may stop the server any time without further notice.

Will the users find out that the importing is done on your server?
No. The communication is still done using cURL. Therefore, the users will not notice anything associated with our server.

Is the script template customizable?
Yes, it is fully customizable. All the styling are done via Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Modifications can also be made directly onto the HTML of the page.

I need the script to be integrated to an existing script like forum, community site & etc. Do you help with this type of customization?
Yes, we provide integration services. Please email our technical department at support@iplussoft.com
