Google Contacts

Google Contacts read and sync from any workflow

Google Contacts is the address book Google Workspace users live in (and that auto-syncs to Android phones, Gmail, and most other Google products). Two triggers cover the changes worth automating: Contact Created (a new contact appeared), Contact Updated (existing contact changed). Six actions cover the operational surface: Create Contact, Update Contact, Delete Contact, Get Contact, List Contacts, Search Contacts (by name or any indexed field). The integration uses Google OAuth with the contacts scope. Common patterns: a Calendly demo booking creates the matching Google Contact in the sales team's shared address book, syncing to their Gmail autocomplete and their phones; or a CRM contact-creation fan-out replicates important records into Google Contacts so the rep's phone autocompletes when the customer calls.

Actions

Do anything Google Contacts can do, from a workflow.

Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's an AI output, a form field, or a search result.

ActionWhat it does
Create Google ContactAdds a contact to the connected Google account with name, email, phone. For "new CRM contact → sync to Google address book so caller ID works" personal-automation workflows.
Delete Google ContactRemoves a contact from the connected account. For cleanup workflows when CRM contacts are deleted and you want Google address book to mirror.
Get Google ContactReturns a contact by resource name with all fields. The standard lookup before update or for verifying a contact exists in Google.
List Google ContactsReturns paginated contacts in the connected account. For sync workflows that mirror Google Contacts to a CRM or for backup workflows that snapshot the contact list periodically.
Search Google ContactsLookup by partial name, email, or phone. The standard "find before update" pattern for upsert workflows that don't want duplicates.
Update Google ContactPartial update on contact fields. For "CRM contact's title changed → push to Google address book" sync workflows that keep the personal contact list current.

Before you build

Three things worth knowing.

Filter at the trigger

Tiny Command counts a run the moment a trigger fires. Filtering early means only matching events spend your usage budget.

Authorize once, reuse anywhere

Connect Google Contacts once and every workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. You don't have to re-auth per workflow.

No JSON to read

Every Google Contacts field shows up in the visual picker for downstream nodes. The raw payload is there for power users, optional for everyone else.
