I wanted to create a public contact card so when my clients click a button on my website it traverses them through the iMessage API and instantly adds a contact card with photo and name as a background task. If there is implications my next question was going to be if there is a possible way to create a public contact card where for example I could redirect a client to iMessage and when starting a new conversation if they type in a name it pops up instead of needing to utilize a phone number? I am trying to explain my thought process as much as possible but I have been typing for hours. In simple terms is there a possibility to create a public contact card that can be accessed or texted by anyone who types in a name into new conversation bar?
Public Contact Info
In response to your request for a business chat feature on your website, I recommend the following link: https://www.apple.com/ios/business-chat/
While the automatic addition of contacts to their contact list is not possible, you can provide your contact card via iMessage for them to consider adding it to their contacts.
I hope this information assists you in implementing the desired functionality or at least get you started.
