Email Contact Manager
Free
4 MB
ECM is an add-in for Microsoft Outlook that retrieves lists of your contacts from QuickBooks so you can send them an email. It will save hours of manual data transfer!
Getting started with Email Contact Manager
First, click the download button above and run the installation program. After you install it, restart Outlook, and you'll see two new buttons on the Outlook toolbar labeled Email QuickBooks Contacts and Manage Block List. Now you can:
- Address an email to a complete list of QuickBooks customers, vendors, or employees
- Block specific people who have requested not to receive communications
If it turns out ECM does not meet your needs, you uninstall it by going to the Control Panel, selecting Add/Remove Programs, and clicking Change/Remove next to Email Contact Manager.

What’s the difference between this and Quickbooks Contact Sync for Outlook?

Downloaded the program but when I try to create an email it says there is an error 8007007e. This appears after it brings up the names and I click finish. Any thoughts?

thanks for trying it out Angelita! It might help to know what version of QuickBooks you are using. Also, what version of windows are you using? thanks!

QuickBooks 2009 Pro, Windows XP with SP2
Recently upgraded to 2009 pro. Tried to create and send an email blast today to my customer list using ECM. I get an error message about “granting access.” Went to preferences and access is checked. I was able to do a list of vendors but I get the error message when I try to do customers. Help! Thanks in advance. John

Hi John,
Thanks for giving ECM a try! It sounds like you are doing everything right. Do you know how big your customer list is? How large in comparison to your vendor list? Do you get the error right away, or does the app do some processing before hand?
Sorry that it didn’t work for your right away.

p.s. You have a very good template for your blog. Where have you got it from?

Before I try this I would first like to know if there is an webmail access to my email and where do I find out how to set up Outlook for email with my Intuit website? I can’t find anything in my account manager in reference to it. I have two email addresses I have yet to check.

So…I downloaded, installed and tried to run and I am getting the error that says allow ECM access in QB. In preferences the Unnamed application is checked so it should have access. any thoughts?
