Paymo now available on Google Apps Marketplace
June 23rd, 2010

Earlier this month we’ve launched a Gmail Paymo gadget and today we’re taking things a step further by launching Paymo for Google Apps. Anyone using Google Apps will be able to:

  • create tasks in Paymo from any email received in Google Apps Gmail. This is a very cool feature that should save you a lot of time when dealing with customer requests that are sent in via email. With a couple of clicks, without leaving Gmail you can create a new task in Paymo based on the email subject (task name) and the contents of the mail (task description), these of-course can be edited when creating the task.
  • single signon. If you login to your Google Apps account you’ll be able to access your Paymo account from the Google Apps interface without the need to go through login.
Here is how it looks:

Contextual Gadget



You can add Paymo to your Google Apps account from the Google Apps Marketplace here. If you have any questions please use our customer support portal, tweet or comment right here on the blog.

File Uploads – now in beta!
April 26th, 2010

We’re excited to announce an oft-requested feature, the ability to upload files to your Paymo projects. The basic file management features are all there in this beta release, however we plan on adding a bunch of cool new features that will make your project management process a breeze. To access the Files module you need to open up a project and click on the Files menu.


There are two ways of adding files to your projects:
  • by clicking on the Files menu item
  • by adding/editing tasks. Each task can be associated with one or more files which you or your team will be able to directly download from the tasks page
While the new module is in beta it will be free of charge for anyone using it, the only limitation is the 50MB storage space.

New website

Our new website is now live. We’ve completely changed the look and feel, and slightly changed the Paymo logo. We hope you like it – feedback is welcome.

Fresh out of the lab
January 25th, 2010

We’re excited to bring you some new features that will make your life easier and most probably will improve your productivity.

So, what’s new?
There are a couple of changes that you’ll see right away, like the new main nav bar. We’ve grouped together similar nav items and slightly separated them in order to make them easier to spot and click.
Due to the expanding feature set the Projects and Invoicing tabs now have a second level nav. The Invoices and Expenses modules are now grouped together under the new Invoicing tab.
The dashboard has some new additions too, like late & upcoming milestones and a recent activity log that will help managers to get an overview on what’s happening in the company.

We’ve also re-worked the Projects section by adding the following features:
  • milestones – you can now set clear goals for each project and get a big picture view by checking the new Milestones tab for late and upcoming milestones
  • assign user to task – one of the most requested features by our users is now live – you can assign tasks to employees
  • task due date – in addition to assigning a task to an user, you can now set a due date for any task
  • inline editing for task lists – easily edit task lists inline without page reloads
  • project overview page – each project has it’s own overview page, it will show you your upcoming milestones, project stats and recent activity within the project

Paymo – KashFlow integration, beta testers needed
May 27th, 2009

Dear KashFlow users, we invite you to beta test the Paymo – Kashflow integration module. To test the integration module please login to Paymo and type in this link in the URL box:
http://your_company.paymo.biz/sync/ (replace your_company with your Paymo subdomain).

The Sync with KashFlow works in both directions.

Before the actual sync, the system will analyze data on both sides and will display a list of actions. Each action will have a checkbox that you have to check in order the action to be performed. By default, add and update actions will be checked, delete action won’t be checked.
Sync actions are listed in 2 groups: Paymo -> Kashflow, and Kashflow -> Paymo. In each group, the actions are performed on the destination side.
E.g. an add action in the Paymo -> Kashflow group will add the item in Kashflow.
Due to hierarchical structure of items (clients, invoices, payments), checking/unchecking some actions will affect its parent/child dependencies. Adding a sub-item will force add on the parent items. Deleting a parent item will delete all child items.
E.g. When checking an add invoice, add client for that invoice (if the client was not yet added) will be checked too.
When checking delete for a client, all dependent invoices and payment will be checked for delete too.
After a sync, our system will remember the associations between ids of items on both sides. This is used when checking for updates.
A ‘Link’ action means: we’ve detected items with the same name on both sides (kashflow and paymo) which were not sync’d before, and we’d like to register that as a link.
