# Send contact (vCard)

To send a business card to WhatsApp chat you will need a vCard of Contact.

vCard is a text format for exchanging electronic business cards. A vCard file consists of vCard records, each of which contains information of one business card. A vCard record can contain name, address, phone numbers, website URL, logo, photo and other information.

To send a contact through the WhatsApp API, use this method:

{% embed url="<https://whapi.readme.io/reference/sendmessagecontact>" %}

Below we have attached ready-made example vCard records that you can use as the basis for your business cards (or, you can use the vCard generator [in the dashboard](https://panel.whapi.cloud/tools/vcard-creation))

{% embed url="<https://panel.whapi.cloud/tools/vcard-creation>" %}
Being in your customer's address book gives you many advantages! Create your business card and send it to your customers.
