Using the extension to export vCards

This extension is compatible only with the following file types:

• Address book
• Library and collections
• Estimates and Invoices

To generate and export vCards, the extension uses data from the Contacts table in the file. Specifically, it reads the following columns:

• First Name
• Family Name
• Street
• Zip
• Locality
• Country Code
• Country
• Mobile Phone
• Home Phone
• Email Home

Ensure that your file is of a supported type and that the required columns are filled in correctly to guarantee a successful export.

Export address data in vCard format

1. Open the Banana file.
2. From the Extensions menu select Export Address data in the VCard format.
