How to Add an Add to Contacts Button to Your Form

September 20, 2026

Jotform’s Add to Contacts Button widget lets visitors quickly download your contact details in VCF format so they can easily add them to their contacts. It’s useful for sales inquiries, consultant introductions, event profiles, appointment pages, and other situations where people may need to reach someone again later. By making important contact information easy to keep, it helps visitors stay connected after interacting with your form.

Here are a few ways to use it:

  • Help prospects save a sales representative’s contact details after submitting an inquiry.
  • Let event attendees keep a speaker’s contact information for later.
  • Give consulting clients a direct contact for follow-up.
  • Help appointment visitors save business contact details for future use.
