You can use the Google Contacts connector from the CData Sync application to capture data from Google Contacts and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

Establish a Connection

To allow Sync to use data from Google Contacts, you first must establish a connection to Google Contacts. Follow these steps to connect Google Contacts to your Sync account:

1. Open the Connections page of the Sync dashboard.

2. Click Add Connection to open the Select Connectors page.

3. Click the Sources tab and locate the Google Contacts row.

4. Click the Configure Connection icon at the end of that row. If you do not see the Configure Connection icon, you need to add the connector according to the instructions in Connections.

5. Enter connection settings on the Settings tab:

   • Connection Name - Enter a connection name of your choice.

   • Auth Scheme - Select the authentication scheme. The default scheme is OAuth.

6. Click Connect to GoogleContacts to connect to your Google Contacts account.

7. Click Create & Test to create the connection.

8. Define advanced connection settings on the Advanced tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)
