Exchange digital business cards directly via the iPhone home screen with the iOS shortcut

Posted by Fabian Ripp | February 14, 2022

In today's blog post, we'll show you how to quickly open your digital oneVcard business card directly from your iPhone home screen and share it via a QR code.

If you already have the oneVcard app installed on your iPhone, you can exchange your contact details super fast. The method we're introducing now isn't a replacement, but rather an addition. :-)

 

Setting it up is a breeze! Here's how:

 

1. Log in via https://onevcard.app and go to the digital business card you want to share directly from your iPhone / iPad home screen.

2. Now, click "Share" and select "Copy" in the iPhone share menu.

3. Next, download the shortcut we've prepared onto your iPhone or Mac with an M1 processor. Just follow this link: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/04872790cc224fd9bb19908f656d6fb5

Alternatively, you can simply scan this QR code directly with your iPhone.

4. Now click on "Configure Shortcut" and paste the URL of your digital business card that you just copied. Then click "Done" and finally on "Add Shortcut".


5. To add the shortcut to your home screen, click on the 3-dot menu on the shortcut you just created, and then on the blue "Settings Button" in the upper right corner. Now select "Add to Home Screen".

6. Choose a name and add the shortcut to your home screen.

7. The shortcut is now on your home screen and ready to go!

Now, with one click on the icon, you can open the corresponding QR code for your digital business card. When scanned, it opens your digital business card just like the QR code from the app. From there, your social media channels can be accessed directly, or your contact details can be saved.

 

Have fun recreating it! :-)

What is a digital business card and what are the advantages?

A digital business card isn't just another version of a paper business card; it offers much more than the traditional form. It holds more information, provides direct links to your online presence, and eliminates the hassle of converting from paper to an electronically usable format. Unlike a paper business card, your digital business card is always with you, always has the latest information, and you never have to order a new print. You can also use a digital business card with a Physical: NFC sticker business card or NFC metal business card.
