1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Google Contacts Integration

To create Google Contacts from Google Sheets, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform serves as the central integration tool that connects these two applications seamlessly. If you’re a new user, you can sign up for free and get 100 tasks every month, which makes it easy to start automating your workflows.

Once logged in, navigate to the main dashboard. Click on the Pabbly Connect option to access your workflows. Here, you will set up the automation that will link your Google Sheets to Google Contacts.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To initiate the process, click on the Create Workflow button located in the top right corner of your dashboard. You will be prompted to name your workflow; for this tutorial, name it ‘Create Google Contacts from Google Sheets’. It’s essential to organize your workflows, so save it in a folder named ‘Google Sheets to Google Contacts’ for easy access later.

• Click on Create Workflow.
• Name your workflow appropriately.
• Save it in the designated folder.

After saving, you will see a window where you can set up your trigger and action. Remember, the trigger is what initiates the workflow, while the action is the resulting task. In this case, your trigger will be Google Sheets, and the action will be Google Contacts.

3. Setting Up Trigger and Action in Pabbly Connect

For the trigger application, search for Google Sheets and select it. The trigger event you need is New or Updated Spreadsheet Row. This means that every time a new row is added to your Google Sheets, it will trigger the workflow.

Next, set Google Contacts as your action application. The action event should be Create a New Contact. This setup ensures that every time a new lead is added to your Google Sheets, a corresponding contact is created in Google Contacts.

• Select Google Sheets as the trigger application.
• Choose New or Updated Spreadsheet Row as the trigger event.
• Set Google Contacts as the action application.
• Select Create a New Contact as the action event.

Now, you will see a webhook URL generated by Pabbly Connect. This URL will act as a bridge between your Google Sheets and Pabbly Connect. Make sure to copy this URL for the next step.

4. Configuring Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

Open your Google Sheets where you maintain your lead details. Ensure that you have the Pabbly Connect Webhooks extension installed. If you haven’t installed it yet, go to Add-ons and search for Pabbly Connect Webhooks to add it.

Once installed, navigate to Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup. You will need to paste the webhook URL you copied earlier into the designated field. Also, specify the trigger column, which is the last column (H) in your sheet where updates will trigger the webhook.

Go to Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup. Paste the webhook URL into the setup. Set the trigger column as the last column (H).

Click on Submit to finalize the setup. Your Google Sheets is now configured to send data to Pabbly Connect whenever a new lead is added.

5. Mapping Data to Google Contacts in Pabbly Connect

After configuring Google Sheets, return to Pabbly Connect to map the data from your Google Sheets to Google Contacts. Click on the Connect button to link your Google account for access to Google Contacts.

Once connected, you will see fields for mapping the data received from Google Sheets. This mapping process ensures that every new lead detail is accurately transferred to Google Contacts. For example, map the first name, last name, email, and other relevant fields accordingly.

Map the first name, last name, and email from the response. Ensure that each field corresponds correctly to avoid static data. Click on Save and Send Test Request to test the integration.

Upon successful mapping and testing, a new contact will appear in Google Contacts based on the details from your Google Sheets. This confirms that the integration via Pabbly Connect has been successfully established.
