Sending a .vcf card to SMS subscribers


Forum|alt.badge.img+3

Is it possible to send SMS subscribers a .vcf contact card so that they can store our contact info into their phones easily? I have seen this done by some accounts with Klaviyo such as robingolf.com but I cannot seem to figure out how to set it up. thanks!

Hello @caseyaltmandesign,

Great question!

At this time sending .VCF contact cards - also known as V-cards - are not supported through Klaviyo. However, I am happy to report that this feature is on Klaviyo’s roadmap to be implemented in the near future. I would recommend keeping an eye out for an announcement surrounding this feature when it does become available. 

Thanks for being a member of the Klaviyo Community!

I would love to see this feature implemented too. I’ve seen it on other SMS platforms. It’s better as a customer to see “xxxx.com” is sending you a message rather than a string of numbers, especially when you can’t remember who they belong too.

This is a hugely critical feature for recognition / retention. Surprised the market leader in SMS marketing still hasn’t prioritized it. May have to switch platforms.
