About this app

Search for your contacts by name or nickname and get all their info in Tasker so you can call them, text them, get their birthday, their address or whatever else you'd like.

See how to get started with AutoContacts here: http://joaoapps.com/autocontacts/

With AutoContacts you can get lots of info on your contacts.

Start by using the Tasker action "Plugin->AutoContacts" and writing a name in the "Name or Nickname" field. Then you can use any of the AutoContacts variables to call, email, sms, or anything else you want to do with the info. You could navigate to a contact's home address, or open his website on a browser. You could even create a notification when his birthday is near. It's up to you what you do with your contact's info!

These are some of the variables you get when you query your contacts:

%acname - Contact Name
%acnickname - Contact Nickname
%acnumber - Contact Phone Number
%acnumbertype - Contact Phone Number Type (Work, Home, etc)
%acemail - Contact Email Address
%acemailtype - Contact Email Address Type (Home Work, etc)
%acaddress - Contact Physical Address
%acevent - Contact Birthday, Anniversary or other
%aceventtype - Type of the event in %acevent

Total time spans can be useful to find out the total number. For instance, you could write "Anniversary was 542 days ago"
%acdayssinceevent - Total Number of days since the event first happened
%acmonthssinceevent - Total Number of months since the event first happened
%acyearssinceevent - Total Number of years since the event first happened

Cummulative time spans can be useful if you want to write stuff like "Birthday happened 12 years, 2 months and 15 days ago".
%acdayssinceeventc - Cummulative Number of days since the event first happened
%acmonthssinceeventc - Cummulative Number of months since the event first happened
%acyearssinceeventc - Cummulative Number of years since the event first happened

%acdaystoevent - Total Number of days to the next time this event happens
%acmonthstoevent - Total Number of months to the next time this event happens
%acyearstoevent - Total Number of years to the next time this event happens
%acdaystoeventc - Cummulative Number of days to the next time this event happens
%acmonthstoeventc - Cummulative Number of months to the next time this event happens
%acyearstoeventc - Cummulative Number of years to the next time this event happens
%aceventday - Day of the month this event happens
%aceventmonth - Month this event happens
%aceventyear - Year this event happens

Ratings and reviews

The app worked for a bit but all of a sudden started having issues. I use AutoRemote to send a command to my phone from a tablet. I then try to use AutoContacts to dial the number based on contact name. It worked fine for a few days. Now I can still see the autoremote command arriving to my phone. But, if my phone is locked, the number is not dialled and nothing happens. If the phone is unliocked, it takes 5-10 mins for AutoContacts to realize that a number needs to be dialed :( Great idea, but needs a fix.

Deprecated. Apparently this plug in is deprecated and you get a dialog to use Query 2.0 which is "easier" but gives no guidance or resources on how to use. And I beg do differ that writing actual SQL on unknown structures is easier than filling in a templated query. That makes no sense whatsoever. That's kind of leaving the use hanging really.

The app works perfectly fine as advertised. And do note that there is no option to edit/update any contacts.
