How to sync Google Contacts with Notion

Setting up Google Contacts sync takes under five minutes:

1. Connect your Google account to 2sync and authorize contacts access.
2. Select your Notion database or let 2sync create one with the right properties.
3. Map your fields to control how names, emails, phone numbers, and other contact data flows between apps.
4. Enable the sync and contacts start flowing automatically.

Why sync Google Contacts with Notion?

Google Contacts stores your people. Notion organizes your work. When these two apps are disconnected, you end up copying phone numbers and email addresses by hand, or you maintain two outdated lists that never agree.

2sync connects Google Contacts and Notion with a true two-way sync. Add a contact in Google and it appears in your Notion database automatically. Edit a job title in Notion and the change syncs back to Google. Names, emails, phone numbers, companies, birthdays, labels, and even profile photos stay current in both apps.

All plans include a 14-day free trial, so you can test the full sync before paying.

What syncs between Google Contacts and Notion?

2sync covers the standard Google Contacts field set, a wider one than any other contacts-to-Notion sync tool reaches:

• Full name, first name, last name: All three name fields sync independently
• Email: Up to 3 addresses per contact, each with its own label field
• Phone: Up to 3 numbers per contact, each with its own label field
• Address: The first address splits into line, city, state, zip code and country, or map the whole thing as one string
• Company and job title: Organization details for CRM filtering, with company as text, a select or a relation
• Birthday: Syncs as a Notion Date property in both directions
• Nickname: Alternative name for the contact
• Photo: Profile pictures sync bidirectionally with automatic optimization
• Labels/groups: Google Contact labels sync as Notion multi-select tags, or as a relation

Seven of these are mapped for you when the automation is created and the rest are added from + Add Field. The field reference lists every field with its Notion property type.

Each field can be configured independently as two-way, one-way to Notion, or one-way to Google Contacts. You control exactly how your data flows.

Build a CRM in Notion with Google Contacts

One of the most popular uses of Google Contacts sync is building a lightweight CRM in Notion. Here is how it works:

Sync your Google Contacts to a Notion database. Add custom Notion properties for things like deal stage, last contacted date, notes, and revenue. Link contacts to project and meeting databases using Notion relations. Your contact data stays current through Google sync while Notion handles the CRM logic.

Pair it with a Google Calendar sync and use the Attendees relation field. 2sync matches attendees by email, so every meeting links to the right contact automatically. Add Gmail sync and emails link to contacts too. You get a full relationship history without entering a single record manually.

If you track leads or deals in a spreadsheet, the Google Sheets integration keeps that tab in two-way sync with a Notion database, on the same Google account.

If you prefer a ready-made starting point, our Circles of Trust template is a free personal CRM for Notion that plugs into Google Contacts sync out of the box. It includes 7 views, relationship tiers, birthday tracking, and a network visualization.

2sync vs Zapier for Google Contacts

Zapier connects Google Contacts and Notion through one-way automations. You build a Zap that triggers when a new contact is created in Google and creates a page in Notion. For the reverse, you build a second Zap. There is no built-in duplicate prevention, and syncing updates to existing contacts requires complex multi-step setups. Photo sync is not supported.

2sync handles all of this in a single setup. Two-way sync runs automatically with built-in deduplication and conflict handling. Profile photos sync bidirectionally, labels map to Notion multi-select tags, and up to 3 email and phone fields sync per contact. Zapier also charges per contact synced, so a large address book can exhaust your task limit quickly. 2sync charges per automation rather than per item: Solo covers up to 3,000 synced items, and Premium and Pro are unlimited.

Contacts are one part of a connected workspace; our guide to the best Notion integrations covers the calendar, task, and email syncs that pair with them.
