Relay.app is an automation tool that lets you automate actions across Google Contacts, Airtable, and many other apps. In this guide, we'll show you how to automatically run the “create or update contact” action in Google Contacts for each record added in Airtable using Relay.app.

Try it in Relay.app

Airtable > Google Contacts

Trigger

Last triggered

Record added

Create or update contact

Set the Airtable trigger as “New record added”

A playbook always starts with a trigger that detects changes in your connected applications and responds accordingly.

Add the Airtable trigger to initiate your playbook's actions whenever a record is added. Click "Add trigger" in your playbook and choose "New record added" from the dropdown menu under Airtable.

If you still need to connect your Airtable account to Relay.app yet, a prompt will guide you through the process.

Add the “Update or create contact” step in Google Contacts

Integrate Google Contacts automation into your workflow to automatically update or create a new contact in Google Contacts every time a record is added in Airtable.

Click the "Add step" button, locate the "Update or create contact" automation for Google Contacts, and input the mandatory and relevant details.

If your Google Contacts account still needs to be connected to Relay.app, you will be prompted to complete that connection. Make sure to allow the necessary permissions for Relay.app to sync with your Google Contacts account.

Activate your playbook

Activating the playbook is the last step in the process. Once you turn it on, it automatically updates or creates a new contact in Google Contacts whenever a record is added in Airtable without requiring manual intervention.

To activate your playbook, click the toggle button at the header. Before activating, we recommend performing a test run of your playbook to ensure all the steps work seamlessly together.
