    Hello All,
    Would it be possible to setup a cron job that automatically imports contacts from an external service? For example another email provider or setup a sync job using n8n or similar?

    Thank you!

      The app supports a carddav endpoints so if you have a system which can sync this into some other provider it should already work. Currently the Contacts app itself does not have any way to actively reach out into other services. I guess the question here is which part in your setup is the single source of truth regarding the contacts. That one would be the server and the rest become clients. Wondering what the use-case is to have two such contact stores itself.

      (Same answer really to the calendar topic)

        So for the Calendar and Contacts app, I have more control over and would like that to be the single source of truth, if possible.

        I'd like to sync from an external provider (Fastmail, Roundcube, Gmail), to the contacts app, and for calendar basically the same.
