Sharing Your Contacts
Sharing your Daylite contact list with other apps lets you work cross functionally more efficiently. With your Daylite contact list shared with other apps, you can take advantage of the features they offer.
Daylite makes it easy to share your contacts with the Contacts app on the Mac, iPhone and iPad.
Benefits of Sharing your Daylite Contacts
Sharing your Daylite Contacts allows you to see them in other apps, so you can add, edit, or leverage your Contacts even when you're working outside of Daylite.
Here are a few examples of things you can do by sharing your Daylite Contacts:
Use Caller ID with your Daylite Contacts on your iPad.
Use your iPad camera with business card scanners.
Make phone calls with Siri.
Add Daylite Contacts to Mail's VIP list.
Import Contacts to Daylite from other contact lists.
Tip:
Sharing your Daylite contacts with another program's contact application DOES NOT merge the databases together. When you share your Daylite contacts, each database is kept as its own contact group.
Create App Specific Username and Password
When you share your Daylite contacts, you create a unique app-specific username and password. This allows you to securely connect your Daylite contacts to other applications, like Apple Contacts, without using your main account credentials.
Log into Account Manager
Select Integrations
Click + New App Login
Enter the name of the app or person you’re sharing with, then click Generate
Once completed, Daylite will generate a unique username, password, and provide you with a server address. Use these to add your Daylite contacts to a CardDAV-compatible contacts application.
Each time you share your contacts, a new set of credentials is generated. These credentials are specific to your device and application, meaning they won’t affect your main Daylite login. If you need to remove access or update your setup, you can manage these credentials from your Account Manager.
Add Your Contacts to Apple Contacts on iPad
By following these steps, you can create a separate Daylite Group in your Apple Contacts app. Your contacts in Daylite are reflected in Apple Contacts, which means your contacts in both apps will always be up to date.
Open Settings > App > Contacts
Tap Contact Accounts > Add Account
Choose Other Contacts Account
Tap Add CardDAV Account
Copy/Paste the Server, and app-specific Username and Password in the correct fields
Make Daylite your Default Contact List on iPad
Navigate to Settings > Contacts
Tap Default Account and select your Daylite Account.
Add Your Contacts to Other Contact Apps
Daylite uses CardDAV, a standard protocol supported by many contact management applications. This means you can add your Daylite contacts to apps like BusyContacts or other CardDAV-compatible apps.
Most CardDAV-compatible apps will require your server address, app-specific username, and password, which you can generate in your Account Manager under Calendar and Contact Integration. If a port number is required, use 443.
Refer to your contacts app’s documentation for specific setup instructions.
