▶️ Sync Contacts with Notes
What This Workflow Does
It syncs contacts from a Apple Contacts group named "Shortcuts demo" with Obsidian.
The end result will be a single note for each contact, with up-to-date contact details in the frontmatter. When the workflow is run again, it’ll find existing notes and update them. If it finds contacts without a note, it’ll create a new one.
The entries in Contacts will gain a clickable link to the Obsidian note.
Please note:¹ The workflow assumes there’s a current daily note.

Adds support for contacts that have more than one phone number or mail address. Numbers and addresses are added to the front matter as YAML lists (`[1, 2, 3]`) now.

Updated the downloadable workflow with a correctly Apple-signed version. Same workflow, just installable now. Sorry for the hiccup!
