The service supports any IMAP‑connected account (including Gmail, Google Apps, Yahoo, AOL, and Microsoft Exchange) and offers plugins for Outlook and Gmail/Google Apps to bring Contactually into users’ inboxes. It imports information from social services such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, Tumblr, Skype, Flickr, Quora, Klout and others to populate contact cards and allow in‑product friending or following.

With the public debut of its API, Contactually enables third‑party integrations (Salesforce/Do.com is a highlighted partner) and is working to make the API real‑time. Planned product work includes an iPhone app (Android to follow) and potential voice integrations with Google Voice and Skype; the company also intends to expand its team to support product and sales growth.
