Share Daylite Contacts With Other Contact Applications
What Can I Do With Contact Sharing?
With contact sharing, you can share your Daylite contacts with Apple’s Contacts app on your iPhone or iPad. This allows you to:
- Make calls using Siri.
- View contact information using Caller ID.
When sharing your contacts a new contact list is created in your Contacts app. Note that this list does not sync with other contact services, such as iCloud or Google Contacts.
Contact sharing is configured per user and per device. Setting up CardDAV on one device does not automatically apply it to other devices or users. To ensure full access, set up contact sharing on each Mac, iPhone, and iPad individually.

Cloud Sharing: Other Applications
You can share Daylite appointments with applications that support CardDAV by using the correct server settings. Since each application has its own configuration format, refer to the application’s documentation for specific setup instructions.
To set up sharing:
- Log in to Account Manager.
- Choose Integrations and scroll to the Calendar and Contact Integration section.
- Click + New App Login.
- Enter the name of the application or person you want to share your contacts with, then click Generate.
Use the generated username, password, and server address to share your contacts. If a port setting is required, use port 443 and turn on SSL.
Troubleshooting Contact Sharing
If you're experiencing issues sharing contacts:
- Ensure your Account Admin has enabled DAV sharing. They can do this by:
- Going to Daylite > Preferences > Users & Teams.
- Selecting Users > Your Name.
- Clicking the Advanced button.
- Checking the Share and sync data with other applications option.
