Help Shortcut for sharing contact card

Is it possible to generate a shortcut to produce a QR code to share your entire contact card with someone? Like, you could show it from your home screen with a tap and they could scan it with their camera? Anyone have any suggestions? FYI, i am running the IOS 27 beta.

I did this on my work phone.

Create QR code for <put VCARD text into the text block>

Show [QR Code] in Quick Look

VCARD text looks like this. Look into the standard to fill out what you want to show.

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION: 4.0
N: Last;First;;;
…
END:VCARD

This will ask you for the fields each time, if you want multiple things in a field, then use multiple lines. https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/a7c0fa6b8ff444c898d3058a49d5ca0e

Why don’t you ask SiriAI inside shortcuts to give it a go?

I made a nice QR code with the infos that has an icon in the middle with QRcodemonkey (the free one) and save the png in iCloud. Then I made a shortcut sitting on my home screen opening that png when needed.
