What is Contact Synchronization?

Contact Sync automatically distributes your company's directory to employee devices. Contacts stay up to date without manual entry — new hires appear automatically, and departing employees are removed.

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.

Can I choose which contacts go to which devices?

Yes. You can assign contact sets to specific user groups or device policies. For example, sync the full corporate directory to headquarters staff while pushing only regional contacts to field teams. Every deployment is targeted so employees only see the contacts they need.

Can I sync contacts that aren't in my company directory?

Absolutely. You can create custom contact lists — emergency services, key suppliers, client contacts — and deploy them alongside your corporate directory. Employees get a single, complete address book on their device combining both internal and external contacts.

Keep Teams Connected

Your Corporate Directory,
Synced to Every Device

Push the right contacts to the right devices — automatically.

Deploy your company directory to managed devices without manual entry.

Every phone number, email, and contact detail stays up to date across your fleet.

Start Syncing Contacts

Stop Managing Contacts by Hand

Without centralized contact sync, every new device means another round of manual entry. Employees can't identify incoming calls, field workers waste time looking up numbers, and outdated contacts lead to missed connections. IT teams need a way to push up-to-date directory data across every managed device — without touching each one.

Automated Directory Sync Set It and Forget It: Sync your full company directory to managed devices automatically. New hires appear the moment they're added to your directory service. Departing employees are removed without admin intervention.
Granular Deployment The Right Contacts on the Right Devices: Assign contact sets to specific user groups or device policies. Sync the full directory to HQ staff while pushing only regional contacts to field teams. Every deployment is targeted — no one gets contacts they don't need.
Beyond the Directory Sync Any Contact, From Any Source: Go beyond your internal directory. Create and deploy custom contact lists — emergency services, key suppliers, client contacts — directly to employee devices. Combine them with your corporate directory for a single, complete address book on every managed phone.
