When this is done by the aspiring member(s), and the whatsApp gain contact group is filled with the desired number of participants (which may be up to 256 or thereabouts);the Admin would compile the contacts of the group members and make it as a VCF files, so that all members of the whatApp gain contact group can download and export the contacts files to their emails.
