About vCard Files
A vCard is a virtual business card that allows users to exchange contact information, such as name, address, phone number, email address, Web site addresses, and photographs. vCard files are often attached to email messages, allowing recipients to quickly add new contact information to a personal address book. The file extension for a vCard file is .vcf.
In Oracle CRM On Demand, you can do the following:
- Import a vCard file and save the information from the file as a new contact record. For more information, see Importing vCard Files.
- Save an existing contact record in Oracle CRM On Demand as a vCard file. For more information, see Saving Contacts as vCard Files.
When you import a vCard file into Oracle CRM On Demand, or when you save an Oracle CRM On Demand contact record as a vCard file, certain information in the contact details is mapped so that it displays correctly in both the vCard and in the Oracle CRM On Demand Contact Detail page.
The following table shows the mappings between the fields in the Contact record type in Oracle CRM On Demand and the vCard properties.
