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When these two apps are disconnected, you end up copying phone numbers and email addresses by hand, or you maintain two outdated lists that never agree.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 supports 14 Google Contacts fields, more than any other contacts-to-Notion sync tool:
- Full name, first name, last name: All three name fields sync independently
- Email: Up to 3 email addresses per contact
- Phone: Up to 3 phone numbers per contact
- Address: Full physical address
- Company and job title: Organization details for CRM filtering
- 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
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.
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 with unlimited synced items.
