Once on the Pabbly Connect page, click on the ‘Sign In’ button. If you’re new, you can sign up for a free account. After logging in, you’ll land on the dashboard where you can create a new workflow to connect Google Sheets with Google Contacts.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In your Pabbly Connect dashboard, locate the ‘Create Workflow’ button at the top right corner. Click it to open a dialog box prompting you to name your workflow. You can name it ‘Google Sheets to Google Contacts’ for easy identification.

• Name your workflow appropriately.
• Click ‘Create’ to proceed.
• You will see two windows: Trigger and Action.

Here, you will set up a trigger event that initiates the automation. Choose Google Sheets as your trigger app and select ‘New Spreadsheet Row’ as the trigger event. This means that whenever a new row is added to your Google Sheet, it will trigger the action to add a new contact to Google Contacts via Pabbly Connect.

3. Setting Up Google Sheets Integration

To connect Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect, ensure that you have a Google Sheet ready with the necessary columns: First Name, Last Name, Email, Company, Job Title, Address, and Phone Number. This structure is crucial for mapping the data correctly.

After setting up your Google Sheet, click on the ‘Add-ons’ menu, select ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’, and choose ‘Initial Setup’. You will need to paste the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect and specify the trigger column, which should be the last data entry column (e.g., Column G).

• Paste the webhook URL in the designated field.
• Set the trigger column to Column G.
• Click ‘Submit’ to save your settings.

After submission, ensure to select ‘Send on Event’ to make sure that any time data is entered in Column G, it will be sent to Pabbly Connect for processing. This completes the integration setup on the Google Sheets side.

4. Adding Contacts to Google Contacts via Pabbly Connect

With your Google Sheets integration established, it’s time to add a new contact to Google Contacts. Enter the contact details in your Google Sheet, such as First Name, Last Name, Email, Company, Job Title, Address, and Phone Number. For instance, you can add a contact named Jeremy Clark.

Once the details are filled, Pabbly Connect will capture this information automatically. In the Action window of your workflow, choose Google Contacts and select ‘Create a Contact’ as the action event. This will allow you to map the fields from Google Sheets to Google Contacts.

Map the First Name to Jeremy. Map the Last Name to Clark. Fill in the other details accordingly.

After mapping all necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will create the contact in Google Contacts, confirming that the integration between Google Sheets and Google Contacts via Pabbly Connect is successful.

5. Adding Labels to Contacts in Google Contacts

Once you’ve created the contact in Google Contacts, you might want to categorize it by adding a label. To do this, add another action in your workflow by clicking the plus button. Choose Google Contacts again and select ‘Add Contact to Group’ as the action event.

Here, you can select the group or label you want to assign to the newly created contact. If you want to create a new label, simply do so in this step. For example, you can create a label called ‘Google Sheets Data’ to categorize all contacts added through this integration.

Select the newly created label from the dropdown. Map the contact ID dynamically to ensure the correct contact is labeled. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize.

This will ensure that your contact is not only created but also categorized under the specified label, enhancing your organizational structure within Google Contacts, all thanks to Pabbly Connect.
