How do I build my self-updating address book?
  • Encourage all of your friends and associates to use OctopusCity so that your Address book will update automatically when they change their contact information.

    Upon the initial upload of your contact's data and from time to time, you may initiate a request for updated contact and address information from your friends, family and associates.  This request is only sent if you elect to initiate it and you may select all contacts or a subset of contacts to receive the request.

    The following actions occur upon initiation
    :

    1. Your Connected Contacts: Those of your contacts that are currently OctopusCity account holders, that have one of your authenticated email addresses in their OctopusCity address book, and that you have authorized to receive your contact information, will get an automatic update of your contact information waiting for their acceptance the next time they open OctopusCity.  Your OctopusCity address book will get automatic updates from each of these contacts that will be waiting for your acceptance the next time you use OctopusCity.  If your address book information matches your contacts, no acceptances on either side will be required.
    2.  You can also set automatic acceptances.
    3. Your Contacts not on OctopusCity: Those of your contacts that you have authorized to receive your address information and do not have an OctopusCity account will receive an email with your updated contact information and a request link for their updated contact information.  Clicking on the link will allow them to input their information and will give you an automatic address update which will be waiting for your acceptance the next time you use OctopusCity.  If your address book information matches your contacts, no acceptances will be required.

    4. An opt-out link is available for each of your contacts through a link on the email they receive.  No future emails will be received by your contact if they opt-out.
