What is Contact Synchronization?

Contact Synchronization is a feature that automatically maintains your company's directory across all employee devices. It ensures that every employee has access to up-to-date contact information for their colleagues without manual entry.

How does Contact Sync work with different platforms?

The system works differently on iOS and Android. On iOS, contacts appear automatically in the native contacts app. On Android, users need to launch our sync app once to initiate synchronization, after which it updates automatically.

What directory services are supported?

Contact Sync supports major directory services including SCIM, Microsoft Entra, Okta, and Google Workspace. This ensures compatibility with most enterprise environments. If you don't have any of these, Appaloosa can serve as directory.

What contact information is synchronized?

The system currently synchronizes essential contact details including first name, last name, email address, and phone number. These details are pulled from your directory service.

How often are contacts updated?

On iOS, updates occur automatically. On Android, after the initial sync, contacts are updated at least once per day, with the option for manual sync through our app.
