Create a new contact for an alias

[joedemcher]

Hello! 👋🏻

Is there a way to create a new contact for an alias? Or am I just missing it?

I didn't see it in your README but I see there is an option when I enter the alias address that says "Contact" followed by the alias address but when I select it I get a notification that says the entered alias was contacted and that's it. I also tried adding contact followed by the email address I am looking to add as a contact for that alias but that didn't seem to do anything except deliver the same notification. I checked the mobile app to confirm the contact was not added.

What does contact do? It's not even listed as an option in the alias commands portion of the README.

If this capability is not yet implemented would you be open to adding it to the workflow? I know the SimpleLogin API has that available and I think it would be a great and useful addition.

If you're open to it I could take a swing at it, I'm familiar with Python and your codebase is well laid out so that part isn't too difficult. I would just have to read up on how it interacts with Alfred as I've never built a workflow myself that runs a Python script.

Let me know what you think and if you want to move forward with this.

Also, thank you for creating this, because I was in the process of exploring building a workflow for SimpleLogin after I found out there wasn't one but I just never had the time. :pink_heart:

I had in fact written this entire workflow to enable that exact use case, but the update of the data takes so freaking long as the contacts don’t have a bulk API and you have to make hundreds of API calls to get all the contacts, so I ended up not implementing the create contact.. I can do that.. It will be a few weeks before I can get to it though..

Best,
