Questions
Can I import my contacts from folk?
Not directly yet; CSV import is planned. Tapestry builds most of your relationship memory from your own email, calendar, messages and contacts, so there’s usually little to import.
Can my team share Tapestry PRM?
Not yet. A Team plan is planned: each person chooses what the team can ask about, and your whole network is never shared by default.
