Sync with Google Contacts

Sync with Google Contacts

This feature is for the Google Users.
Google Apps users can refer to Zoho CRM for G Suite Users​

Keeping up-to-date contacts in both Zoho CRM and Google Contacts is now made easy with the Contacts Synchronization feature. It helps you to configure one-way or two-way sync schedules that will automatically sync contact details. Also, you can specify the list to which the contacts should be transferred and map fields as required. Please note that if you delete the sync configurations and again synchronize the contacts, then duplicate records will not be created based on the email address that is mapped.

    • Google to CRM: First time you can synchronize maximum 25,000 contacts. For the consecutive syncs, maximum 5000 contacts will be synchronized.
    • CRM to Google: First time you can synchronize maximum 25,000 contacts. For the consecutive syncs, maximum 1000 contacts will be synchronized.
  • The synchronization of contacts from Zoho CRM to Google and vice versa will take a while to complete based on the number of contacts. We request you to wait for a few minutes and then check if the contacts have been synchronized.

  • Based on the roles and access privileges, the contacts will be synchronized.
  • The criteria to search duplicate records are based on the Email field value (primary email field in contacts) in Zoho CRM and Email (Work) field value in Google Contacts.
