Keeping your contacts up to date in both Zoho Recruit and Google Contacts is now easy with the Contacts Synchronization feature. It helps you configure one-way or two-way sync schedules that will automatically sync contact details. You can also specify the list the contacts are transferred to and map fields as required.

Please note that if you delete the sync configurations and synchronize the contacts again, duplicate records will not be created as Recruit will check for duplicates based on the email address that is mapped.

Note

• Synchronizing contacts between Zoho Recruit and Google will take a while to complete. How long depends on the number of contacts. Wait for a few minutes and then check whether the contacts have been synchronized.
• Please note that if you delete the sync configuration and then synchronize the contacts again, duplicate records will not be created as the system will check for duplicates based on the email address that is mapped.
• Check the Last Sync Time in the Contacts Synchronization page to see when the sync was performed.
• Note that only the contacts in the selected Google Group and Zoho Recruit ListView will be synchronized. The contacts from Recruit will be added into a specified Google Group.
• The contacts will be synchronized according to roles and access privileges.
• During the first synchronization, you can sync up to a maximum of 10,000 contacts. During subsequent syncs, a maximum of 500 contacts will be synchronized.
• The criteria to search for duplicate records are based on the Email field value (the primary email field in contacts) in Zoho Recruit and the Email (Work) field value in Google Contacts.
