Frequently Asked Questions about Gmail + Google Contacts integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Gmail and Google Contacts
How do I integrate Gmail with Google Contacts?
You can integrate Gmail with Google Contacts by setting up a Zap, which is an automated workflow that connects your apps. For example, you can create a trigger in Gmail for every new email received and an action in Google Contacts to create or update the contact information from that email.
Can I automatically add new Gmail contacts to Google Contacts?
Yes, it is possible by setting up a Zap where the trigger is a new email received in Gmail and the action is to create or update that contact in Google Contacts. This ensures your contacts list stays up-to-date without manual input.
Is it possible to update an existing contact in Google Contacts when details change in a Gmail email?
Certainly! When you receive an email with updated information, you can set a trigger on incoming emails in Gmail and an action to update the specific contact's details in Google Contacts. This keeps all data current and accurate.
What happens if I delete an email from my Gmail? Does it affect Google Contacts through the integration?
Deleting an email from Gmail won't affect any integrations you've set up with Google Contacts. The triggers are based on receiving emails, so once the information has been processed, deleting the source does not impact stored data.
Can I choose which emails get processed to add contacts into Google Contacts?
Yes, you can add filters when setting up your Zap so that only certain types of emails trigger actions. For instance, you might set it so only those from new senders add or update contacts in your Google Contacts.
Do I need any coding skills to integrate Gmail with Google Contacts?
No coding skills are necessary. Our system enables seamless integration using predefined steps where you simply select triggers like 'New Email' and actions like 'Add Contact.' The interface guides you through each step of creating a seamless workflow.
What kind of customizations can be made during the integration process?
During setup, you'll have options such as filtering specific emails based on criteria like subject lines or sender addresses before they trigger contact creation. You can also map specific fields from emails to corresponding fields in your contacts list.
