# 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>" %}
