GoContact! can work as a helper app for other apps.
GoContacts accepts gocontact:// and will replace [contact] in the rest of the url with the contact information chosen, [person] for all contact information, or [scan] with a a scanned barcode (EAN-13, UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, Code-128, Code-39, & QR barcode), enabling integration with other apps that accept and perform URLs.

An example would be using FileMaker Go to allow a user to select and bring contact information back into a database. Use a script step like this:
Open URL [No Dialog, "gocontact://FMP://" & Get ( HostIPAddress ) & "/" & Substitute ( Substitute ( Get ( FileName ) & "?script=PickContactResult¶m=[contact]&$NumberToList=10" ; " " ; " " ) ; "=" ; "=" )]
This runs GoContact!, has the user pick information from a contact, then runs FileMaker Go, opening the specified database, passing the chosen information into a parameter of the specified script.
GoContact! can also be used as a speed dialer icon, call, text, email, YouTube, web, or secure web site to open. For quicker access, put this in the dock.
Switch Auto to ON to auto-open on launch. Change it back in the Settings app to set to OFF.
Choose from contacts or enter directly.
Choose the method to open by.
*Use Custom to enter the complete URL.
*Calls can have pauses added by adding commas.
*EMails can default To, Cc, Bcc, Subject, and Body by adding to the email address in the following manner:
?subject=Update&body=Latest%20Update
YouTube takes the alphanumeric code for the video, to open.
***1.0.5 Added [person] substitution for all contact information, so an attempt at all of a persons information can be made
