First, visit the Pabbly Connect landing page and sign up for a free account. Once signed in, you will reach the dashboard where you can create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, assign a suitable name to your workflow, and click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

2. Configuring the Trigger with Microsoft Outlook

In this step, you will configure the trigger to start the automation process. Select Microsoft 365 as the application under the trigger section in Pabbly Connect. This is essential as Outlook is part of the Microsoft 365 package.

Choose the trigger event as ‘New Contact’ and click on the ‘Connect’ button. Here, select ‘Add New Connection’ and click on ‘Connect with 365’. You will be prompted to sign in to your Microsoft account. After signing in, grant the necessary permissions, and your connection will be established successfully.

3. Adding New Contacts in Microsoft Outlook

Now that the trigger is set up, it’s time to add a new contact in Microsoft Outlook. Click on the ‘New Contact’ button within your Outlook application. Fill in the details such as name, email address, and phone number, then click on the ‘Save’ button.

After saving the new contact, return to Pabbly Connect and click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button. This action will capture the data of the newly created contact, allowing you to see the response containing all relevant information.

• Ensure you have filled in all necessary fields for the contact.
• Click on ‘Save’ to confirm the new contact.
• Check for a successful response in Pabbly Connect.

Once you have the response, you can proceed to the next step of sending this information to Google Contacts.

4. Creating Google Contacts from Outlook Data

With the contact data captured, the next step is to send this information to Google Contacts. In Pabbly Connect, search for ‘Google Contacts’ and select it as the action application. Choose the action event as ‘Create Contact’ and click on the ‘Connect’ button.

Just like before, select ‘Add New Connection’ and sign in with your Google account. After granting the necessary permissions, you will be able to map the fields from your Outlook contact to Google Contacts.

• Map the email address, name, and phone number from the Outlook data.
• Ensure all relevant fields are filled to create a complete contact.
• Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the process.

After clicking the test request, check your Google Contacts to confirm that the new contact has been added successfully.

5. Finalizing the Automation Process

After successfully creating a Google Contact from the newly added Outlook contact, your automation setup is complete. The integration through Pabbly Connect ensures that every time you add a new contact in Microsoft Outlook, it will automatically reflect in Google Contacts.

You only need to set this up once; thereafter, the automation will run in the background, saving you time and manual effort. You can also clone this workflow from the provided link in the description to start using it instantly.
