How Someone Saves Your Contact from a Linq Page
Linq can send your contact card to someone’s phone—but they have to finish the process on their device. Saving is never automatic; the other person must confirm adding you to their contacts.
You can use this guide to help them through it, especially if they’re not familiar with contact downloads.
Saving a Contact on iPhone (iOS)
On iPhone, the contact doesn’t save until the user manually adds it from the contact preview.
Typical flow:
-
Tap “Exchange Contact” on your Linq page
-
The visitor taps Exchange Contact on your page.
-
Their phone opens a contact preview showing your name, phone, email, etc.
Contact preview opens-Save to store in their phone.
-
-
Save the contact
-
They review the information and tap Done / Save.
-
Once they complete this, your contact is in their phone.
Notifications for you:
When a new contact is created from your page, you should receive push, email, and/or text notifications based on your preferences in the Notifications section of the Linq app.
Saving a Contact on Android
On Android, behavior can vary slightly by device and OS, but in general:
-
Tap “Exchange Contact” on your Linq page
-
The visitor taps Exchange Contact on your page.
-
-
Contact file downloads or opens
One of two things typically happens:-
The contact opens directly in the Contacts app, or
-
A .vcf contact file downloads and appears as a banner/notification at the top.
-
-
Open and choose account (if needed)
-
If a .vcf file is shown, they tap it.
-
If they have multiple accounts (e.g., several Gmail accounts), Android may ask which account to save the contact under.
-
-
Save the contact
-
They confirm the details and tap Save in the Contacts screen.
-
Again, the contact is only stored once they complete this final step.
What You See on Your Side
After someone successfully saves your contact:
-
Linq logs a new contact event for your page.
-
Based on your notification settings, you may receive:
-
A push notification in the app
-
An email notification
-
A text notification (if enabled)
-
You can update which alerts you get by going to Menu → Notifications in the Linq app.
