Editorial Workflows

Get Contact

public workflow

Install Workflow...

This workflow contains at least one Python script. Only use it if you trust the person who shared this with you, and if you know exactly what it does.

I understand, install the workflow!

This is a workflow for Editorial, a Markdown and plain text editor for iOS. To download it, you need to view this page on a device that has the app installed.

Description: I modified @jollipixel’s “get contacts” workflow to copy outputted name & contact info to clipboard, to paste where needed.

Original description by jollipixel:

Get Contact by @jollipixel

It's meant to be used as a Subworkflow.

Prompts for a name (could be partial name) and returns '<full name><tab><email address or phone number>' from your Contacts as a string.
Will present a list if multiple matches are found.
