# Implement a Contact Import Feature

Create a customized contact import feature, create or update records with contact data, or otherwise reduce the friction of adding contact information from a mobile device.

![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-branded_apps_exp_cloud-264-0-0-production-enus/cf85363c-215e-4784-bb6a-c5c83c4e7140/images/icon_note.png)

Note Using the ContactsService API to create contact-based features works only in the mobile app, and not on mobile or desktop web.

You can develop and implement a Lightning web component using the ContactsService API. Create a customized contact import feature to create or update records with contact data.

Using ContactsService in your Lightning web component is straightforward.

1. Import ContactsService into your component definition.
2. Test to make sure ContactsService is available before you call contacts-related functions.
3. Use the `getContacts()` functions to select and access contacts.
