    Google Integration

    Import contacts one way from Google Contacts, Google Sheets, and Google Forms into a Simply Send subscription group. Each import is a Sync, not a CSV upload. Google access is read-only. Consent stays in Simply Send.

    Overview

    From Integrations, open Contacts, Sheets, or Forms. Choose the relevant setup guide below for the Google source you want to import.

    Google Contacts

    Select contact groups, map fields, then Sync.

    Google Sheets

    Select a spreadsheet and sheet, map columns, then Sync. Email or phone is required.

    Google Forms

    Select a form, map questions, then Sync. Email or phone is required.

    4. 4

      Choose, map, and Sync

      Select the spreadsheet and specific sheet. Map columns to contact fields and custom attributes; an email address or phone number is required. Choose the destination subscription group and whether to mark imported contacts as subscribed or unsubscribed, then select Sync. Mark contacts as subscribed only when they have opted in to receive email, such as through completed double opt-in. Large imports can continue in the background.

    Disconnect

    Disconnect removes the Google connection. Contacts already imported stay in Simply Send.
