One tip to remember when creating contacts (or calendar events, or any other file, really) in an Invisible App engagement is that if you call that file later via a button or link, make sure that your button or link is using the appropriate “target” in your html tag.

For example, if you would like the dialog that opens requesting the user add the contact to their address book to open as a new tab instead of interrupting an invisible app, set the “target” to “blank.” Otherwise, the user will have to press the “back” button on their browser to navigate back to the Ushur. There are different “targets” you can set. For a comprehensive list, see this link: HTML a target Attribute.
