Frequently Asked Questions about Google Contacts + Todoist integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Google Contacts and Todoist
How do I integrate Google Contacts with Todoist using Zapier?
To integrate Google Contacts with Todoist, you'll need to set up a Zap in Zapier. Start by selecting Google Contacts as the trigger app and choose a trigger event like ‘New or Updated Contact’. Then, select Todoist as the action app and choose what you want to happen in Todoist, such as creating a new task. Follow the prompts to connect your accounts and map the fields appropriately.
Can I create tasks in Todoist automatically when I add a new contact in Google Contacts?
Yes, by setting Google Contacts as the trigger and Todoist as the action within a Zap, you can automatically create tasks in Todoist whenever a new contact is added in Google Contacts. Choose 'New Contact' as the trigger event and specify what information you want to carry over into your Todoist task.
Is it possible to update existing tasks in Todoist when a contact is updated in Google Contacts?
Currently, our integration allows you to create new tasks based on updates in Google Contacts but does not support updating existing tasks directly from contact updates. You can set a Zap that triggers when a contact is updated and creates a new task with details of the update.
What specific fields can be transferred from Google Contacts to Todoist?
You have flexibility when choosing which fields from Google Contacts are transferred into Todoist. Common fields include name, email address, phone number, or address. During setup, you can map these fields to either be used in task titles or notes within Todoist.
Do I need technical skills to set up an integration between Google Contacts and Todoist?
No technical skills are required. Our platform provides an intuitive interface for setting up Zaps between applications. Just follow step-by-step instructions within our dashboard to connect your accounts and tailor your settings.
What happens if I delete a contact in Google Contacts? Does it affect my tasks in Todoist?
Deleting a contact in Google Contacts won’t automatically delete any related tasks created by that contact's information in Todoist since each operation through our platform initiates only upon specified triggers (e.g., adding or updating contacts).
