Gmail + Google Contacts

Create new Google Contacts from new Gmail attachments

Effortlessly manage your community with this Gmail to Google Contacts workflow. Whenever a new attachment is received in Gmail, a contact will be created straight away in Google Contacts. It's a methodical, time-saving solution for business owners and community managers who regularly receive new pertinent information from Gmail attachments and need to add new contacts into Google Contacts. This process saves you from manual data re-entry, enabling more efficient contact management.
