Accessing Pabbly Connect for Google Sheets Integration

To start integrating Google Sheets with Google Contacts, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This powerful automation tool allows you to connect various applications seamlessly. Begin by visiting the Pabbly Connect homepage by typing ‘Pabbly.com/connect’ in your browser.

Once on the homepage, you will see options to either sign in or sign up for free. If you are new, click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button to create an account. With your account, you will receive 100 free tasks every month to explore the features of Pabbly Connect.

Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After logging into Pabbly Connect, navigate to the dashboard where you can create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located in the top right corner. A dialog box will appear prompting you to name your workflow, such as ‘Add Google Contacts in Group from Google Sheets’.

Once you have named your workflow, you can select a folder to save it in. After selecting the appropriate folder, click on ‘Create’. This will open two windows: one for the trigger and another for the action. The trigger will be Google Sheets, while the action will be Google Contacts. The workflow will initiate when a new row is added in Google Sheets.

Setting Up Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set Google Sheets as your trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Select Google Sheets and choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This event will activate the workflow whenever a new row is added to your Google Sheets.

• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Go to your Google Sheets, click on Extensions, then Add-ons, and select Get Add-ons.
• Search for Pabbly Connect Webhooks and install it.

After installation, refresh your spreadsheet. In the Extensions menu, navigate to Pabbly Connect Webhooks and select Initial Setup. Here, paste the copied webhook URL and specify the trigger column, which is the last column where data will be entered. After entering these details, click ‘Send Test’ to verify the setup.

Adding Contacts to Google Contacts Using Pabbly Connect

Now that your trigger is set up, it’s time to configure the action in Pabbly Connect. Select Google Contacts as your action application and choose the action event, which is ‘Create Contact’. Click on ‘Connect’ to build a new connection with your Google Contacts account.

After signing in and granting permission, you will need to fill in the fields to create a new contact. Utilize the mapping feature in Pabbly Connect to automatically input data from your Google Sheets. Map the first name, last name, email, and other relevant fields from the previous step’s response.

• Map the first name and last name from the Google Sheets response.
• Select ‘Unspecified’ for gender if not provided.
• Map the email and address fields accordingly.

After filling in the necessary details, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will create a new contact in Google Contacts based on the data from your Google Sheets.

Organizing Contacts in Google Contacts

To ensure your new contacts are organized, you can add them to a specific group or label in Google Contacts through Pabbly Connect. To do this, add another action step in your workflow. Select Google Contacts again and choose ‘Add Contact to Group or Label’ as the action event.

Connect to your Google Contacts and select the group where you want to add the new contact. If you haven’t created a group yet, you can do so directly in Google Contacts. After selecting the group, map the contact ID received from the previous step to ensure it is dynamic and changes with each new entry.

Finally, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm the addition of the contact to the specified group. This completes the integration process, allowing you to automatically add contacts from Google Sheets into Google Contacts, organized by group.
