1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To begin importing contacts from Google Sheets to Google Contacts, the first step is to access Pabbly Connect. This powerful automation tool allows you to connect various applications seamlessly. Start by visiting the Pabbly website and signing in to your account.

Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you can create new workflows that automate your tasks. The user-friendly interface makes it easy to set up integrations without needing coding skills, allowing you to focus on your business.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will create a new workflow to automate the contact import process. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button in your Pabbly Connect dashboard. You will be prompted to name your workflow, such as ‘Import Contacts from Google Sheets to Google Contacts + Grouping Guide’.

Next, select the trigger application. In this case, choose Google Sheets. The trigger event will be set to ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This means that every time a new lead is added to your Google Sheets, it will trigger the automation. Follow these steps to set up the trigger:

• Click on ‘Create Workflow’.
• Name your workflow.
• Select Google Sheets as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’ as the trigger event.

After setting up the trigger, click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection between Google Sheets and Pabbly Connect. You will receive a webhook URL that acts as a bridge between the two applications.

3. Setting Up Google Sheets for Pabbly Connect

Now that you have the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect, it’s time to configure Google Sheets. Open your Google Sheets document, where you have your contact details. Make sure it includes fields like First Name, Last Name, Email, Phone, Address, and Company.

To link Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect, go to the Extensions menu, select Add-ons, and then Get Add-ons. Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install it if you haven’t done so already. After installation, refresh your Google Sheets page.

• Open your Google Sheets document.
• Go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons.
• Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install it.
• Refresh the Google Sheets page to apply changes.

After refreshing, navigate back to the Extensions menu, select Pabbly Connect Webhooks, and choose ‘Initial Setup’. Here, paste the webhook URL you received earlier and set the trigger column to the final data column, typically the last column where data will be added. Click ‘Send Test’ to verify the connection.

4. Creating a Google Contact via Pabbly Connect

Once the Google Sheets setup is complete, the next step is to create a new contact in Google Contacts using Pabbly Connect. Add a new action step in your workflow and select Google Contacts as the action application. For the action event, choose ‘Create Contact’.

Now, you need to connect your Google account with Pabbly Connect. Click ‘Sign in with Google’ and grant the necessary permissions. After a successful connection, you will be prompted to map the fields from Google Sheets to Google Contacts. This mapping ensures that the correct data is transferred to the respective fields.

Select Google Contacts as the action application. Choose ‘Create Contact’ as the action event. Connect your Google account. Map the fields from Google Sheets to Google Contacts.

After mapping the fields, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’. Verify the response to ensure that the contact has been created successfully in Google Contacts.

5. Grouping Contacts in Google Contacts Using Pabbly Connect

The final step is to group the newly created contact in Google Contacts. Add another action step in your Pabbly Connect workflow and select Google Contacts again. This time, choose ‘Add Contact to Group’ as the action event.

Connect to Google Contacts and select the group (label) you want to add the contact to. You can create a new label called ‘Google Sheets’ for better organization. Map the contact ID received from the previous step to ensure the correct contact is added to the group.

Select Google Contacts as the action application. Choose ‘Add Contact to Group’ as the action event. Map the contact ID to the group. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify.

After successfully adding the contact to the group, you will see the updated contact in your Google Contacts under the specified label. This completes the automation process using Pabbly Connect to import contacts from Google Sheets to Google Contacts.
