Contact from clipboard

With the wizard you can easily create new contact records. Copy an contact, for example from an email signature, paste it into the wizard and create a new contact record.

Open the wizard by clicking on the small arrow to the right of the plus symbol for “create new record” and select “contact from clipboard”.

Detection method: automatic

Please paste the copied address into the left text field, simply click into the field with the mouse and then press the key combination “CTRL+V”. You can add or change the inserted contact before you start the import with the button “Accept values”.

Notice:

Please make sure that you have always entered the correct country in the form, as there are country-specific features in e.g. the house number or postal code.

The contact can be given in the form of a letter contact or with individual lines, each line containing an identifier. We recommend that you leave the default setting automatic. The system determines and uses the better variant for each contact.

On the right side, the data is displayed in the corresponding fields. Please check and correct them if necessary.

Detection method: named fields

You can change the assignment to individual fields and also change the text itself. Another method is to write an identifier in front of the fields that are not transferred, so that certain information can be entered in certain fields.
