A new “Facebook“ type record will be added to the [Communication options] detail. If the contact does not have a photo, it will be imported from the Facebook page.

Note

If the selected contact has both a profile page and a public page, it is recommended to add the public page to the [Communication options] detail because the public page contains more information about contacts.
