This article will explore the process of integrating Google Contacts and Notion so that any new contacts added to Google Contacts are automatically saved as items in your Notion database.
This automation requires a simple one-time setup, for which we will utilize Pabbly Connect.
The setup involves linking Google Contacts with Pabbly Connect to capture newly added contacts, followed by linking Pabbly Connect with Notion to save the contact in your database.

Step 2:- Setup Google Contacts as the Trigger App to Fetch Contacts
Let’s now look at the process of connecting Google Contacts to Pabbly Connect, which allows us to collect contact details from Google Contacts.
A. Trigger App
Choose ‘Google Contacts’ as the Trigger App, select ‘New or Updated Contact’ as the Trigger Event, and click on ‘Connect’.
B. Connect Google Contacts Account
To link your Google Contacts account, select ‘Add New Connection’, and click on ‘Sign in with Google’. Following that, ensure to grant the necessary authorization to establish the connection.
Click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’, the contact details of the most recent addition to your Google Contacts will be gathered.
To confirm our connection, expand the Response Received section and ensure that the retrieved contact information is visible.
Step 3:- Setup Notion as the Action App to Save Contacts
Action allows us to choose the application that will get executed by the workflow trigger.
Our goal is to store the contacts collected from Google Contacts into our Notion database. Therefore, we will be using Notion as our Action App.
A. Action App
Choose ‘Notion’ as your Action App, select ‘Create Database Item’ as an Action Event, and click on ‘Connect’.
B. Connect Notion Account
To connect with your Notion account, select ‘Add New Connection’, and click on ‘Connect With Notion’.
Choose the specific Database where you wish to store the collected contacts.
Once you have selected your preferred database, the properties of this database will be displayed as fields in your Action Step.
C. Map Necessary Fields
After connecting your Notion account, the next step is to map the contact information collected in the previous steps. By mapping the data, it will remain dynamic and change accordingly based on the received responses.
Map the Email from the previous step.
Similarly, map the other fields, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.
Once you click on Save & Send Test Request, the collected contact will be added as an item to your Notion database.
Congratulations, the automation is now complete! You have successfully integrated Google Contacts with Notion. Moving forward, every time a new contact is added to your Google Contacts, it will automatically be saved in your Notion database.
