AI-Driven transformation for smarter, more efficient workflows

This shift to AI is not just cosmetic — it fundamentally enhances the product, driving smarter, more efficient workflows. AI powers the following features:

  • Gmail Addon Integration

ContactsFlow™ automatically extracts contact details from emails and suggests relevant labels, enabling users to quickly add and organize contacts. This saves time and improves efficiency in managing external connections.

  • Voice and Image Contact Capture 

Now, you can create a contact entry simply by recording your voice. Additionally, uploading a photo or screenshot allows AI to automatically generate a contact card, eliminating the risk of human error and saving valuable time.

  • Personalized Onboarding Experience

AI collects key data such as company details, industry, and departments to tailor the app setup. It also analyzes Google Contacts usage to recommend optimal contact lists and sharing strategies, ensuring the best app configuration.

Hidden fields access control for sensitive contact information

Manage who can view specific contact details by concealing sensitive fields like birthdays, home addresses, and personal notes. Instantly hide or reveal information within shared contacts for individuals or groups, ensuring only necessary details—typically office phone numbers, company name, and job title—are visible.

Organization-wide custom fields for consistent data 


The ContactsFlow™ custom fields let you tailor contact information to your business needs, adding attributes not found in standard forms. You can create unlimited fields, set drop-down options, and sync them with Google Contacts, ensuring efficient contact management.

Two-way Google Directory sync for easy updates across devices 

Users can now view and update Google Directory contacts directly on their mobile phones, with the ability to make edits based on their permissions. This powerful upgrade enables two-way directory sync without requiring admin access to the Google Workspace console, offering greater flexibility for both admins and users.

View the recent contact history log for quick insights

Viewing the latest comment on a contact is a valuable addition to ContactsFlow™. It provides clear insight into the previous interactions, helping manage active contact databases. This feature can serve as a reminder for future actions and ensures users stay informed when working with contacts.

The above-mentioned functions, including AI-powered enhancements, are designed to improve your contact management by automating tasks like contact creation, data updates, and categorization. From tracking interaction histories to hiding sensitive data, each function works together to enhance how you manage and engage with your contacts.

Discover the full potential of your contacts manager

We recognize AI’s capacity to improve contact management, making your experience more efficient. While we’ve updated our service name and added new features, our commitment to delivering value through enhanced collaboration and data security remains the cornerstone of our platform.
