Setting a custom URL handler for contacs

[kevanp]

I can see in the Preferences that I can set another app to open a contact, other than Apple 'Contacts'. But I don't know how!

 

The URL Handler field in Contacts preferences shows "addressbook://{uid}" I want to open contacts in BusyContacts, but I have discovered that I don't just put "BusyContacts" where the field has {uid}. 

 

So what do I do?

 

Thanks,

Kevan

BusyContacts have their own UID format, which they've outlined here:

Enter busycontacts://show/{uid} in the URL Handler field to specify that you want to use BusyContacts to open your contacts
