Shared Contact FAQs
Frequently asked questions about how Voyzu contact sharing works
The FAQs
How does contact sharing work in Voyzu?
Voyzu contacts are automatically downloaded into a special #voyzu shared
label within Google contacts. Synchronization is full two-way synchronization - changes you make within Voyzu are automatically applied to users’ Google contacts. Changes users make to Google contacts with the #voyzu shared
label are automatically synchronized back to Voyzu contacts, and to all other users who are sharing contacts.
How often does synchronization occur?
Contacts are synchronized approximately every 10 minutes. If you want to synchronize right away you can do this by logging into Voyzu Shared Contacts and clicking into ‘Settings’ (the cog icon on the top right of the voyzu screen). There you will find a ‘Synchronize contacts now’ button.
Are contacts that don’t have #voyzu shared label ever shared with other users?
No. Your private contacts remain private and are never shared with other users. Only contacts you choose to share (i.e. those with the #voyzu shared
label) are shared
Can I share contacts with users outside my Google Workspace domain?
No. Voyzu Shared Contacts for Google Workspace has been purpose designed to allow companies and organizations to maintain a global list of organization-wide contacts.
Can I control which users have access to the #voyzu shared
label?
You can, as a domain administrator. Log in to Voyzu and navigate to the ‘Users’ menu. From there you can search for users and select which users you want to give access to company shared contacts
Can users delete contacts?
Any user who can access Voyzu can log into Voyzu and delete contacts using the web application.
