Contact Activity
Contact Activities are designed to make it easy for users of your app to get in touch with you. You can decide what contact details to make available, but for the best results, give your users as many choices as possible. Choose from Phone, Email, Website and Address - each is interactive! Users can also easily add your information to their contacts with a single click.
