Hi Julie,

  1. Right-click on an Address Book entry and choose Export V-card.
  2. Attach the v-card file to the Upload Stuff Action (http://www.freewayactions.com/product.php?id=032) and use the Upload to HTML Location option
  3. Create a normal link from a graphic or run of text using Edit > Hyperlink > External tab and enter the v-card name into the dialog

Now when the user clicks on the link the v-card will wing their way.

Here’s one I made earlier (as all good TV chefs say);

Tim.

Hi Julie,

You should be able to link to the .vcf file using the Link to File Aciton (or Graphic Link to File if you’re applying it to an image), or upload the .vcf to your server and link to it manually. The thing to look out for is your server not knowing what to do with it so take a look here for details (basically you need to add the vcard MIME type to your server so it doesn’t just try and display it in the browser):
