Is the "ponerse" reflexive or just pronomial? So should the pronoun correspond to the subject?

I wanted to say "Luis already contacted me..." to a Spanish-speaking friend. I said "Luis ya se puso en contacto conmigo..." Is that correct?

So are the following ideas correct?
- Te pones en countacto con Silvia. (You contact Silvia.)
- Se pone en contacto con el grupo. (He contacted the group.)

Etc.?

Thank you!
"Get in contact" is a bit different than "contacting"

Luis already contacted me = Luis ya se contactó conmigo

Luis already got in contact with me = Luis ya se puso en contacto conmigo

See? Sí?
