CannyBill & Campaign Monitor
If you are a designer looking for an invoicing and billing solution, there’s a new contender you might like to check out. CannyBill is a web based invoicing and billing solution which also integrates directly with Campaign Monitor for marketing to your current and potential clients.
This is a great example of the modern trend towards applications which mesh together lots of other services through public APIs. The core of CannyBill is the ability to easily create, send and manage invoices and accept payments online via credit card. Where it gets smarter is its integration with a slew of web applications, including Basecamp and of course Campaign Monitor.
If you have all your clients setup in CannyBill, you can create a message and email them all (as well as your potential leads you’ve been working with) directly from your CannyBill account:

If you have added your API details you can then choose to have that message sent via Campaign Monitor.

You’ll end up with a full campaign report showing exactly the results your email has generated. Your list is kept up to date automatically for you. This is a hassle free way to market to your current and potential customers through the same front end you are invoicing them.
Take the CannyBill tour to find out more. With the recent API updates adding even more power, we expect to see even more cool applications hooking into Campaign Monitor in the coming months.
