Google Contacts

The Google Contacts block lets a workflow create and search contacts in a connected Google account using the Google People API. Contacts created here sync automatically to every device signed in with that Google account — useful when a whole team shares one account for caller ID.

Prerequisites

The People API must be enabled for your Google Cloud project (the same project that provides GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID / GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET).
Connect a Google account from the block settings ("Continue with Google"). The consent screen requests the contacts scope.

Actions

Create Contact

Creates a new contact. Fields (all support {{variables}}):

Field	Notes
First name	Required if no phone number
Last name	Optional
Phone number	Required if no first name
Email	Optional
Company	Saved as the contact's organization
Job title	Optional
Notes	Saved to the contact's notes
Skip if phone number already exists	On by default — searches first and skips creation when a contact with the same phone number exists

Output (referenced as {{blockId.field}}):

{
  "skipped": false,
  "contact": { "resourceName": "people/c123...", "names": [...], "phoneNumbers": [...] }
}

Search Contacts

Searches contacts by name, phone number, or email.

Output:

{
  "count": 2,
  "results": [{ "person": { "resourceName": "...", "names": [...] } }]
}

Example

After a WhatsApp onboarding flow completes, add a Google Contacts block with:

First name: {{jsonParser.full_name}}
Last name: | {{jsonParser.company_name}} | MyApp
Phone number: +{{whatsAppTrigger.from}}

so every teammate's phone shows who is calling.
