1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Integration

To integrate Google Contacts with Google Sheets, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to automate workflows seamlessly. Go to the Pabbly Connect website and log in or create an account if you are a new user.

Once logged in, you will be directed to the dashboard where you can create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, name your workflow, and select Google Contacts as the trigger application.

2. Configuring Google Contacts as the Trigger

In this section, we will configure Google Contacts as the trigger for our integration. Select the trigger event as ‘New Contact’ in the Google Contacts application within Pabbly Connect. This means that every time a new contact is added in Google Contacts, it will trigger the workflow.

• Select the Google account you want to connect.
• Allow Pabbly Connect access to your Google Contacts.
• Test the trigger to ensure it is working correctly.

After testing, you should see a confirmation that the trigger is set up successfully. This step is crucial as it ensures Pabbly Connect can receive new contact data from Google Contacts.

3. Adding Google Sheets as the Action

Now that the trigger is configured, the next step is to add Google Sheets as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Choose ‘Google Sheets’ from the list of applications and select the action event as ‘Add Row’.

Next, you will need to connect your Google Sheets account. Select the Google account where your Google Sheets are located and authorize access. Once connected, choose the specific Google Sheet where you want to store the new contact details.

4. Mapping Fields in Google Sheets

In this step, you will map the fields from Google Contacts to the corresponding columns in Google Sheets. This is where you define how contact details are stored. In Pabbly Connect, you can select fields like First Name, Last Name, Email, and Phone Number from the Google Contacts trigger.

• Map the First Name from Google Contacts to the First Name column in Google Sheets.
• Map the Last Name similarly to its column.
• Continue mapping all required fields.

Once all fields are mapped correctly, save the configuration. This ensures that every new contact added to Google Contacts will be stored in your specified Google Sheets automatically.

5. Testing and Activating the Workflow

The final step is to test your entire workflow. Click on the ‘Test’ button in Pabbly Connect. This will simulate adding a new contact to see if the details are correctly saved to Google Sheets. If the test is successful, you will receive a confirmation message.

After confirming that everything works as expected, activate your workflow. This means that from now on, every time a new contact is added in Google Contacts, the details will automatically save to Google Sheets without any manual effort.

Conclusion

Integrating Google Contacts with Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect allows for efficient data management. By automating the process, you ensure that all new contact details are captured accurately and stored in your Google Sheets, enhancing productivity and organization.
