How to sync contact between Google contacts and HubSpot?

[juanplomeli]

Hello,
I am trying to get Google contacts and HubSpot to sync automatically. Every contact that I enter in HubSpot should populate on Google contacts.

I have connected through zapier and I have installed the app on my phone as well but no sync has occurred. Note I have not received any error messages from zapier.

As an alternative to Zapier, you can integrate Hubspot and Google Contacts with the help of Skyvia.

For detailed information take a look at their page on Hubspot Marketplace: https://www.hubspot.com/integrations/skyvia

There is a simple solution to import your Google Contacts: Import2 Wizard - a premier HubSpot partner. Here is a quick video overview on how to set up Google Contacts import into HubSpot: https://youtu.be/G8-anaSCt6U

Looks like you're looking to sync historical data with Zapier. As Zapier is a triggered based application, they won't be able to sync historical data. Zapier offers event-based automation, which requires a new event to trigger your Zaps. Data that was created before your Zap was turned on will not be acted upon. 

If you're looking for a continuous sync between HubSpot and Google Contacts, you might want to have a look at our Hubspot <> Google Contacts solution via PieSync. We'll be able to sync historical contact data as well as keeping contacts up to date after the initial sync. 

Happy to help you get started. 

Regards, Aron

Hi

Because the Google Contacts / HubSpot integration is provided and built by Zapier, we At HubSpot would not be able to support any issues regarding this integration (because we don't have any insight or visibility into its operations). Therefore, it would be best for you to reach out to Zapier support in order to troubleshoot this further. 

If Zapier requires any information from us in order to identify the source of this issue, definitely let me know and I will look into it.

All the best,

Andrea

You can use a third party tool like https://shareemailcontacts.com to sync Google Contacts with Hubspot. They provide that native integration.

When will this simple function be ready?  The workarounds with Zapier are painful to setup and actually end up making the situation worse.  It is a massive fail that you can't do this.  ZOHO CRM CAN DO IT PERFECTLY WITH ZAPIER.  HUBSPOT CANNOT.

Hi May

Your answer is fine to the issue with Zapier, but the Subject contains the question "How to sync contact between Google contacts and HubSpot?"

This is something that I would like to know.

Can you help?

Best

@kgraversen currently, the only way to sync contacts between Google Contacts and HubSpot is via Zapier (which is an integration-building platform). There is no native integration within HubSpot to allow for this process.

Alternative would be to import your contacts manually, or to use the Contacts API if you have developer resources within your company.

Thanks, but how do I prevent Hubspot from duplicate my contacts?

Moonwebstrategy, 

I have been using HS CRM/Pro for what feels like quite a while.  The integration btwn HS and Google Contacts is a major hurdle.  I just spent an hour of my time manually importing.  

I have tried working with the G Contacts API, Zapier, etc.  Nothing seems to work well. 

I am to the point that I am going to pay out of pocket and create a product.  I have a development team ready.  I need a test audience.  I am not sure how many users HS CRM has, but I would like a small group to interview about use case/user interface.  Who should I talk to within HubSpot?  

Thank You, 

Trey

Hi @talktotrey,

I will message you directly to see what the best next steps are. 

Thanks,
Jenny

I see that there are also syncing services like piesync or workato that will automatically sync Google Contacts and Hubspot. Is there any experience with how these serves work with Hubspot?

Hi!

I'm also interested in seeing this feature 🙂
