Letting people send you their contact info

A paper business card only goes one way: you give them yours, you hope they give you theirs. A digital card can close that loop. Turn on the contact-back button and anyone who opens your card can submit their details with a quick form. Their info ends up in your contacts list and (optionally) in your CRM.

Turning it on

  1. Open your card in the editor.
  2. Find the Contact form (or Collect contacts) section.
  3. Toggle Collect contacts on.
  4. Save.

A button appears on your public card. The default label is "Send me your info"; you can customize the wording.

Customizing the form

You can control:

  • Button text. Change the label on the button (e.g. "Send me your info", "Connect", "Let's keep in touch").
  • Form title and description. The heading and the line of explanatory text shown above the form fields.
  • Which fields are required. First name, last name, email, phone, title, and company can each be set to required or optional.

What happens when someone submits

  1. The visitor fills in the form on your public profile page.
  2. The submission lands in your Contacts dashboard.
  3. You get an email notification (configurable, see below).
  4. If you've connected HubSpot or Salesforce, the contact is pushed there automatically.
  5. The submitter gets a "you sent your info" confirmation, plus your vCard as a download so they have your details too.

Email notifications

You can choose how often you get notified about new contacts. The options are:

  • Every contact. A separate email for each new submission. Best for low-volume cards.
  • Daily digest. One email per day summarizing the contacts you got that day. Good for trade shows.
  • No notifications. Off entirely. The contacts still land in your dashboard.

This setting lives in the same section as the contact-form toggle.

If you need a richer form

The contact-back form is intentionally short: a few standard fields and you're done. If you need extra questions (intent, budget, custom checkboxes, etc.) build a custom form on Plus and above. See creating a custom lead-capture form.
