Adding Contacts from Your iOS Device (or OSX contacts) to Contactzilla

You can add your existing contacts to a Contactzilla address book directly from your iPhone and also using OSX Contacts on a Mac (recommended). When you create labels in Contactzilla (such as ‘Clients,’ ‘Suppliers,’ or ‘VIPs’), they automatically appear as ‘lists’ in both the iPhone Contacts app and macOS Contacts app. This integration means your organizational structure travels with your contacts across all your devices, giving you consistent access to your carefully organized contacts wherever you work.

Recommended Method: Using a OSX Contacts on a Mac

Using Mac OSX Contacts to move contacts to your Contactzilla address book provides two benefits:

  • You can add contacts directly to your main address book (not just to lists)
  • You can easily transfer multiple contacts at once

Here’s how:

  1. Open the Contacts app on your Mac
  2. Select the contacts you want to add to Contactzilla (hold Command to select multiple contacts)
  3. Simply drag and drop the selected contacts onto your Contactzilla address book in the sidebar. The example below shows adding contacts from an iCloud list to ‘Project Cascade Tower’ a Contactzilla address book. Please note the contacts can also be added directly to one of your labels/lists/ using the same method.

Using Your iPhone to move contacts to your Contactzilla address book

On an iPhone, you can’t drag and drop between accounts like on a Mac. To move contacts to Contactzilla on your iPhone, you must move them into one of your Contactzilla ‘lists’ (which are the same as your Contactzilla labels).

Here’s how to do it:

  1. Open the Contacts app on your iPhone
  2. Navigate to ‘Lists’ (top left)
  3. Choose the source account (for example, ‘All iCloud’) and then select the specific contact(s) you wish to move.
  4. Long-press the contact(s) and select ‘Copy’.
  5. Navigate back to ‘Lists’ and select the Contactzilla label you want to add them to.
  6. While in that list, long-press in the empty space and select ‘Paste’.
Tip 💡:If you don’t have any labels yet, you’ll need to create one in Contactzilla first so it appears as a list on your iPhone.

Important Note:

Once you’ve pasted the contacts into your Contactzilla list, they will sync to your Contactzilla account. You may want to delete the original contacts from your iCloud/phone account to avoid having duplicate entries on your device.
