Use Google Contacts Triggers and Actions in Workflows

This integration links your Contacts with a Google address book, in either direction, so people you meet in one place appear in the other.

Triggers

  • New Contact: a contact is added in Google Contacts.
  • New Group: a contact group is created.

They are checked about every five minutes, so the workflow starts shortly after the change, not instantly.

Actions

  • Create Contact, Update Contact, Find Contact (by name, email, or phone).
  • Find or Create Contact: updates when a match exists and adds one when it does not, which prevents duplicates.
  • Create Group and Add Contact to Groups.

Connect and build

  1. In Automation > Workflows, search for Google Contacts when adding a trigger or action.
  2. Click Connect Now and sign in with your Google account, or connect from Settings > Integrations.
  3. Choose the trigger or action and map the fields: name, email, phone, and group.
  4. Test it, then save and publish.

Examples

  • Save booked clients: after a Calendars appointment is booked, run Find or Create Contact so they land in your phone's address book.
  • Form to Google Contacts: map each submitted form to a new Google contact and add them to a group.
  • Welcome new entries: when someone is added in Google, send a personal text and add a tag.

Good to know: Prefer Find or Create over plain Create so repeat submissions update one entry instead of creating many.
