1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Google Contacts Import

To start importing Google Contacts into Google Sheets, you need to set up Pabbly Connect. First, navigate to the Pabbly Connect website and log in to your account. If you don’t have an account, you can easily sign up for free and get started.

Once logged in, you will access the dashboard where you can create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, name your workflow, and select a folder for it. This is where you will set up the integration between Google Contacts and Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The next step involves configuring the trigger in Pabbly Connect. For this integration, you will use the ‘Schedule by Pabbly’ trigger. This allows you to set a specific time when the workflow will run, ensuring all existing contacts are imported into Google Sheets.

• Select ‘Schedule by Pabbly’ as the trigger application.
• Choose the option to run the workflow once.
• Set the date and time for the workflow to execute.

After configuring the schedule, click on the ‘Save’ button. This will successfully schedule your workflow to run at the specified time, allowing Pabbly Connect to fetch your Google Contacts automatically.

3. Setting Up the Action to Fetch Google Contacts

Now, you need to configure the action step in Pabbly Connect to fetch the contacts from Google Contacts. Select ‘Google Contacts’ as your action application and choose the action event ‘Get All Contacts’. This will retrieve all your existing contacts from Google.

To connect Google Contacts with Pabbly Connect, click on ‘Connect’ and follow the prompts to allow access to your Google account. Once connected, specify the number of contacts to retrieve, which can be done by entering a page size (e.g., 12000).

4. Processing Contacts with Iterator in Pabbly Connect

With your Google Contacts fetched, the next step involves processing these contacts using the ‘Iterator’ feature in Pabbly Connect. This allows you to handle multiple contacts one by one. Select ‘Iterator by Pabbly’ as your action application and choose the action event ‘Process Arrays’.

By connecting the iterator, you will be able to map the contact details for each individual contact. This step is crucial for ensuring that each contact’s information is processed correctly before being sent to Google Sheets.

• Select the array of contacts received from the previous step.
• Click on ‘Save’ to test the iterator and ensure it processes the contacts.

Once this is done, the iterator will provide the details of each contact, which can then be mapped to your Google Sheets.

5. Adding Contacts to Google Sheets

Finally, you will set up the last action in Pabbly Connect to add the contact details into Google Sheets. Select ‘Google Sheets’ as your action application and choose the action event ‘Add New Row’. This will allow you to input each contact’s information into the specified spreadsheet.

Connect your Google Sheets account to Pabbly Connect by clicking on ‘Connect’ and granting the necessary permissions. After establishing the connection, select the spreadsheet and map the contact details (name, email, mobile number) accordingly.

Map the contact’s full name by combining first and last names. Map the email address and mobile number from the iterator response.

Once all details are mapped, click on ‘Save’ to finalize the setup. Your workflow is now ready to run, and it will automatically import all Google Contacts into your Google Sheets at the scheduled time.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explored how to import Google Contacts into Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. By setting up a workflow with triggers and actions, you can automate the process of managing your contacts efficiently.
