Important benefits of automating data transfer from Google Contacts to SendGrid:

To perform Google Contacts + SendGrid integration, you don’t need to learn the basics of programming or understand the details of the API. All the necessary tech actions will be performed for you by our online connector ApiX-Drive. This tool is designed specifically for quick and easy integration of systems. With its intuitive interface and clear instructions, you can set everything up in just 10 minutes. Moreover, you will have access to detailed video and text guides that will facilitate the process of connecting your accounts.

To set up the Google Contacts integration with SendGrid, first, create a new connection.

Select the data source system. You need Google Contacts. Click “Continue.”

Choose the action “Get CONTACTS (new/modified).” Click “Continue.”

Connect your Google account to ApiX-Drive.

Specify the login of your Google personal account. Click “Next.”

Specify the password of your Google personal account. Click “Next.”

Provide ApiX-Drive access to work with your Google account. For this, click “Continue.”

Then, be sure to check all the boxes and click “Continue” again.

When the connected account appears in the list of active accounts, select it and click “Continue.”

There are no additional settings for the Google Contacts system, so just click “Continue.”

Here, you can set up a data filter. For our task, we can skip this step. Click “Continue.”

Now, you see an example of data for one of your contacts in Google Contacts. Click “Continue.” This completes the setup of Google Contacts as the data source.

Now, you can proceed to setting up the data receiver.

To set up the SendGrid integration with Google Contacts, select the data receiver system. You need SendGrid. Click “Continue.”

Choose the action “Add CONTACT.” Click “Continue.”

Connect your SendGrid account to ApiX-Drive.

In this window, you must specify the API key. 

To get the API key, go to the settings of your SendGrid personal account.

Go to the API Keys section.

Click “Create API Key.”

Specify a name for the new key. Then, grant full access and click “Create & View.”

Copy the API key and click “Done.”

Paste the API key into the appropriate field in ApiX-Drive and click “Continue.”

When the connected login appears in the list of active accounts, select it and click “Continue.”

Select the List to which new contacts will be added.

Now, you see the SendGrid fields for creating new contacts. You can assign variables from Google Contacts to these fields. To do this, click in the field and select a variable from the drop-down list.

When all the necessary fields are filled in, click “Continue.”

At this stage, you see an example of the data that will be sent to SendGrid. If you are not satisfied with something, click “Edit,” and you will go back one step. To check the correctness of the settings, click “Send test data to SendGrid.”

After successful sending, go to SendGrid and check the result.

Then, return to ApiX-Drive and continue setting up.

At this point, the SendGrid setup as the data receiver is successfully completed.

In order for data transfer to occur automatically, configure auto-update. Click “Enable update.”

Click on the gear button.

Select the interval for the data update. For example, once every 5 minutes. Moreover, here you can change the name of the connection and assign it to the required group. Click “Continue.”
