Send as Contact / Candidate on a Mac
It would be really helpful to be able to add a candidate or contact email to Firefish through outlook whilst using a Mac. At the moment, we have to double up work by adding batch emails if we have been out of the office using a laptop. It has become restrictive that we can't work effectively on the road.

Hi All
Delighted to announce that our new version of the Outlook Add-in will be available to install after tonight’s release, having successfully come through Beta.
This version of the add-in is compatible with Office 365, Exchange 2016 and above, and can be installed on Outlook for Mac, Outlook on the web and Outlook Desktop.
The new version is currently being reviewed by Microsoft and will be available to download via the Office Store once it has been verified – we’ll be doing a soft launch of the add-in until this has been confirmed.
In the meantime, you can still install the add-in by following these instructions: https://firefishsoftware.elevio.help/en/articles/329-installing-the-outlook-web-add-in
Just get in touch with Support if you need any help.
Thanks again for your feedback!

Yes please try and fix this. I have to run a windows laptop just to import emails into Firefish.

I certainly support this and agree that this is an important issue! I continue to be surprised that companies develop products and ignore the mac need. I have learnt this week that firefish will START on this early 2019 (not after GDPR as was previously posted by Firefish) - a finish date would be good - PLEASE! Especially as this thread has been going since 2015, slightly worrying how long it has taken to get to development.
It does create a lot of additional work. Firefish also gave us this information:
https://firefishsoftware.elevio.help/en/articles/161
Firefish - can you provide a completion date for the change.
Thanks, -

This is more a solution than an idea.
I have installed Parallel Desktop onto my mac which allows you to run windows and IOS at the same time, without the need to restart, you just flick between screens.
This allows you to have Outlook open and the FireFish add-on in 1 window and the rest you run as normal.
Windows cost me £20 and parallel is circa £35 for the year. Not ideal but a simple way round whilst waiting for FF to sort the IOS situation

The biggest point on my wishlist for Firefish by far!! Adding a Mac Outlook plugin would be a MASSIVE step forward in the daily usability of the system I - Please please please make it possible asap!!
Having to partition my MAC to use windows via bootcamp would be a technology step backwards in time! -

Yes, it will completely change the way we work (for the better!), especially in line with GDPR. Manually adding each contact is so time consuming. Thank you for looking into it!

This would be a real help for us. We all run on Mac's and it can be frustrating moving everything across manually.
As recruiter's we need to be as efficient with our time as possible, this would be a big step within that process.

Hi Wendy, Happy New Year to you. Still a Mac user and no intention of going back to PC, any update yet on the Mac Outlook integration? I feel that 2017 is the year to DO IT!

Just wanted to add our vote for this, please. We're currently on a mix of PCs and Macs, and it is inconvenient having to copy and paste email conversations into Firefish via Mac.
Thanks

Any update on the different alternative you mentioned back in October last year? I see that Microsoft have recently launched MS Office 2016 - does this offer compatibility?

********, have you found an alternative yet? Firefish add in on emails is the most used function for us and we need it to work with our macs too (I have a mac as I find it a lot faster). At the moment the only alternative is copying and pasting emails to notes of candidates and contacts, this is not very time efficient. Please update me.

Recruitee have an amazing modern user interface with app integration for iPhones and mobile devices. Using Firefish as a Mobile solution on a mobile is not possible and it would be great to see FIrefish move away from an excell feel and more to an interface that's engaging and responsive. Recruiters are being challenged more and more to move away from their desks and get out into the field without carrying around a laptop.

Hi Liam - thanks for the comment
the first thing that we are doing is to work on the attachments request with regards to the emails as this has more votes. I will update as soon as we can move on this one further. Many thanks Wendy -

Any update on when an alternative might be available?
We also use another onlineCRM system which has a working Mac compatible Outlook Add-in?

It would be good if interviews booked with candidates in Firefish could be automatically inserted into my Outlook calendar.
