Contacts
Keeping your household organized starts with making sure the right people โ and companies โ are connected to the right parts of your Family Operating Systemยฎ.
This guide shows you how to add contacts, import from other platforms, and connect contacts across categories like Property, Finance, Insurance, and more.
๐น Watch: Adding Contacts in Trustworthy
๐งโ๐ผ What is a Contact in Trustworthy?
A contact can be:
A person โ like a family member, accountant, or emergency contact
A company โ like your utility provider, landscaper, or insurance broker
Contacts help you keep everything in one place. For example, linking your snow removal service to a vacation home or your wealth advisor to your investment accounts.
๐ฅ Importing Contacts from Other Apps
You can easily import existing contacts from:
Google Contacts
Outlook
Apple Contacts
Just export your contacts as a .VCF or .VCard file from your current provider, and then use Trustworthyโs Import Contacts tool to bring them in.
๐ก Pro Tip: Use this method to quickly populate your household contacts and avoid starting from scratch.
โ How to Add a New Contact
You can add a contact in two ways:
From the Contacts Category
Navigate to the Contacts category in your navigation.
Click Add Contact.
Choose if itโs a person or a company.
Enter details like name, phone, email, and any notes.
From Within a Category
Go to any category (e.g., Property, Finance).
Select Linked contacts or if inside property, choose Add Service or Utility.
Choose an existing contact or click Add New Contact.
โ๏ธ Donโt forget: You can always edit or update contact information later.
๐ Linking Contacts to Other Categories
Once added, contacts can be linked across your system using Linked Contacts:
Link your financial advisor to the Finance category.
Add your Estate planner to the Trust in your Legal category.
Connect your part time CFO to your LLC in your Business category.
This makes it easier to find the right information quickly โ especially in emergencies or when sharing with collaborators.
