How do I migrate from Folk?

Export from Folk as CSV — contacts, custom fields, tags, and your activity log come across. Pipeline stages import as tags by default; you can drop them or keep them.

What happens to my pipelines and deal stages?

Pipelines map to tags or saved filters. Most users drop the stages entirely — when the assistant tells you what's actually happening with a contact, the kanban becomes redundant.

Does Fasrad work for teams?

Fasrad is built around a personal assistant, not a team CRM. If your workflow is team-wide pipeline management, Folk remains the better fit. For solo and tight-team workflows, the assistant covers more ground.

What about email integration?

Email — inbound and outbound — ties to the right contact automatically. Drafts happen in chat with full thread context, not in a CRM-flavored email composer.

Does it work with Gmail / Google Workspace?

Yes. Connect Gmail and your assistant reads, drafts, and sends. The sync covers Outlook too.

Can I share contacts with a teammate?

Sharing specific contacts or a notebook via tokenized links works. Continuous shared CRM views the way Folk does them aren't core today.

What if I want my data back out?

Standard CSV export anytime — same fields, no lock-in.

A Folk alternative that doesn't ask you to manage a pipeline

Folk is a lovely lightweight CRM if you've outgrown a spreadsheet but don't want HubSpot — but it's still a CRM, with pipelines, stages, and kanban cards to maintain. Fasrad skips the pipeline and just does the work: drafts the email, runs the sweep, captures from any surface.

Skip the pipeline; do the work

Folk's pitch is the right one — a CRM that doesn't feel like an enterprise sales tool. Lightweight, modern, designed for founders and operators. The catch is that it's still a CRM. You drag cards between stages. You configure custom fields. You log activities into the right tab. Fasrad asks none of that of you. Same use cases — staying on top of contacts, prospects, partners — without the pipeline ceremony.

Here's what changes:

No stages to drag. Your assistant tracks status from the actual signals — email replies, calendar events, what's been said in your conversations. The kanban becomes a question you ask.
Sweeps, not lists. "Who haven't I followed up with from the conference?" — answer, drafts, ready to send. No view to configure.
Captures land in the brain, not the tab. Voice memo from a coffee meeting, forwarded intro email, a web profile — all attach to the right contact without a manual entry step.
No team-CRM weight. Folk's strength is teams. Fasrad's is individuals. If it's just you, you skip the team-CRM ceremony you don't need.
Briefs replace dashboards. Morning brief tells you who's overdue, what meetings need prep, what got logged overnight — without you opening anything.

Switching from Folk is one CSV — contacts, custom fields, tags, and your activity log come across. The pipeline stages map to tags or get dropped entirely; most users find they don't miss them.

Folk is a good light CRM. Fasrad is the assistant that does what you were using a CRM for. The contacts are still yours; the pipeline is gone.
