CardDAV contacts
Use this App when approved contact programs should read the people you already store inside Timelish. After you turn it on, Timelish shows a CardDAV URL, username, and password (plus a button to regenerate the password if needed). That information is what you type into compatible desktop or phone apps.
This is different from CalDAV calendar. CalDAV is for calendars. CardDAV is for contact cards.
Adding the App
- Decide with leadership or counsel whether sharing the full directory is acceptable.
- Open Apps, open Store, and install CardDAV contacts (Store text may shorten the name to CardDAV).
- Copy the credentials only into devices you trust. Do not paste them into public chats.
- Regenerate the password when a laptop leaves your team or whenever you suspect leakage.
If two systems show different names for the same client, expect to clean up duplicates on both sides. Sign-in problems start with Apps troubleshooting.
Good to know
Treat CardDAV login like a privileged key. Rotate it on a schedule your security team likes and train staff not to forward it.
Usage
Show client names on inbound calls
Use this when: Reception uses handsets that read synced contacts.
Keep a permitted CRM fresh
Use this when: Your policy allows sync but forbids manual spreadsheets.
Honour do-not-contact preferences everywhere
Use this when: Marketing opt-outs must stay consistent across Timelish and other tools.
Removing the App
- Open Apps, then Installed apps.
- Disconnect CardDAV contacts, regenerate the password, then remove saved profiles on each device that used the old login.
What changes afterward
Remote programs stop receiving updates. Older copies may linger on phones or laptops until someone deletes them manually.
