Unsupported Features: Google Contacts

Here's a breakdown of what Unito's Google Contacts integration can't do yet and a few other considerations.

In this article:

Unsupported Google Contacts fields

  • Google Contacts notes: These aren't currently supported by this integration.

Other Google Contacts limitations

  • Syncing multiple email addresses: If a contact has multiple email addresses assigned to it, Unito will only sync the first — or primary — email address.

  • Syncing multiple addresses: Unito will only sync the first address for contacts that have multiple addresses.

  • Two-way flows: Currently, you can only sync contacts *from* Google Contacts to other tools. That means you couldn't use Unito to create new contacts when a work item is created in another tool, for example. Note that you can still keep all information updated in both tools; you just can't automate contact creation with Unito.

  • Contact merging: This integration can't merge contacts, meaning contacts may be duplicated across tools.

  • Live syncing: Because of a limitation in the Google Contacts API, Unito will sync changes in your contacts every five minutes.

Other Google Contacts considerations

Permissions

When authorizing Unito to sync Google Contacts, you'll be asked to give Unito permission to delete contacts. This is a default permission from Google Contacts. Unito will never delete any of your contacts.
