Frequently Asked Questions about Google Contacts + Google Sheets integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Google Contacts and Google Sheets

How do I start integrating Google Contacts with Google Sheets?

To begin integrating Google Contacts with Google Sheets, you first need to set up triggers and actions using our platform. A trigger could be a new contact being added in Google Contacts, while an action could be automatically adding that contact's details into a specified Google Sheet.

Can I update Google Sheets when a contact is updated in Google Contacts?

Yes, you can update Google Sheets whenever there is an update in your Google Contacts. By using our integration, set the trigger as 'Contact Updated' in your Google Contacts. The corresponding action will then update the relevant information in your specified Google Sheet.

Is it possible to add a contact to Google Contacts from data entered in a Google Sheet?

It's certainly possible to add new contacts to Google Contacts when a row is added or updated in your Google Sheet. You will need to specify the correct columns such as name, email, and phone number for creating new contacts through our integration.

What happens if there are duplicate contacts when importing from a Google Sheet into Google Contacts?

When importing contacts from a sheet into your contacts list through our integration, you can set rules for duplicates. Decide whether you'd like to update existing contacts with the new information or skip duplicates altogether according to your preference.

Can I choose specific columns from my spreadsheet to sync with my contacts list?

We allow you to map specific columns from your spreadsheet to fields in your contacts list. When setting up the action within our platform, select which spreadsheet columns correspond with fields like First Name, Last Name, Phone Number, etc., ensuring accurate data syncing.

How often are my data synced between these two platforms?

The frequency of data synchronization depends on how you've configured triggers and actions within our platform. Most commonly, real-time updates occur whenever triggers like adding or updating contacts are activated.

What should I do if I'm having trouble connecting my accounts for integration?

If you're experiencing difficulties connecting your accounts for integration between Google Contacts and Sheets, ensure you've granted necessary permissions and checked internet connectivity. Sometimes re-authenticating accounts through our dashboard resolves common connection issues.
