How to generate vCard files for your records

I want to generate contact cards for my Airtable records

Setup

  1. Prepare your contacts table with the name, email address, phone number and any other details you want to include. Add an attachment field for the finished .vcf files.

  2. Create the Generate vCards for Airtable Contacts automation and select that contacts table.

  3. Under Setup, map the contact fields listed below. Explicitly selecting your fields avoids relying on the fallback field names.

  4. Set vCard Attachment Field to the attachment field for the generated contact cards.

  5. Check Processing Behavior and choose how to handle existing output values.

  6. Use one test contact first, then run the automation. Download the generated .vcf file and open it in your contacts application to check the details before processing the rest of the table.

You can use our Generate vCards for Airtable Contactsautomation for this. It will generate vCard files (.vcf) in the selected vCard Attachment Field based on the data in the selected fields for each record.

Supported fields:

  • Full Name Field: If no field is set here the automation will attempt to detect a field called FN in your table and pull information from that field.

  • Email Field: If no field is set here the automation will attempt to detect a field called EMAIL in your table and pull information from that field.

  • Phone Field: Phone number. If no field is set here the automation will attempt to detect a field called TEL in your table and pull information from that field.

  • Job Title Field: If no field is set here the automation will attempt to detect a field called TITLE in your table and pull information from that field.

  • Organization Field: Organization. If no field is set here the automation will attempt to detect a field called ORG in your table and pull information from that field.

  • Website Field: A link to their website. If no field is set here the automation will attempt to detect a field called URL in your table and pull information from that field.

  • Note Field: If no field is set here the automation will attempt to detect a field called NOTE in your table and pull information from that field.
