1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To start automating the creation of Google Contacts, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Sign in to your Pabbly account, which will take you to the dashboard where all Pabbly applications are listed.

Once logged in, click on the ‘Access Now’ button to enter the Pabbly Connect interface. Here, you will find a big blue button on the right side labeled ‘Create Workflow’. Click on this button to proceed with setting up your automation.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The next step in the process involves setting up the trigger for your automation. In Pabbly Connect, the trigger will be the Email Parser, which captures incoming emails. This allows you to use the email body to create Google Contacts.

• Open your Gmail account and go to Settings.
• Under the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab, add the email address provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Verify the forwarding address using the confirmation code sent to your Gmail.

After setting up the email forwarding, you will be ready to receive emails that will trigger the workflow in Pabbly Connect. This ensures that every email you receive can be processed for creating Google Contacts.

3. Filtering Emails for Contact Creation

Now that you have set up the trigger, it’s crucial to filter the emails to ensure that only relevant ones are processed. In Pabbly Connect, you will use the filter feature to check if the subject of the email contains the keyword ‘contact’.

• Set the filter condition to check if the subject contains the word ‘contact’.
• Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the filter.

If the condition is met, the workflow proceeds to create a Google Contact. This filtering step is essential to avoid creating contacts from unrelated emails, ensuring your Google Contacts remain organized and relevant.

4. Creating Google Contacts from Email Data

Once the email is filtered successfully, the next step is to create the Google Contact. In Pabbly Connect, select Google Contacts as your action application and choose the ‘Create Contact’ event.

You will need to connect your Google account to Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Add New Connection’ and sign in with your Google account, allowing necessary permissions. After the connection is established, you can map the fields from the email data to the Google Contacts fields.

5. Finalizing and Testing the Integration

After mapping the necessary fields such as display name, email address, and phone number, you can finalize the setup. In Pabbly Connect, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the contact in Google Contacts.

Once the test request is successful, refresh your Google Contacts to see the newly created contact. This ensures that your automation is working as intended. Every time you receive an email with the specified subject, a contact will be created automatically, streamlining your workflow.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explored how to automate the creation of Google Contacts using Pabbly Connect. By setting up triggers and filters, you can ensure that relevant email data is transformed into organized contacts seamlessly.
