Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Click on ‘Create Workflow’ and name your workflow, for example, ‘Google Contacts to Excel’. This workflow will automate the process of transferring new Google Contacts to your MS Excel sheet.

2. Setting Up the Trigger with Google Contacts

The next step is to set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect. In the trigger window, search for ‘Google Contacts’ and select it. Choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Contact’.
