Sync with Google Contacts

This feature is for the Google Users.
Google Apps users can refer to the CRM for G Suite Users

Keeping up-to-date contacts in both the CRM and Google Contacts is now made easy with the Contacts Synchronization feature. It helps you to configure one-way or two-way sync schedules that will automatically sync contact details. Also, you can specify the list to which the contacts should be transferred and map fields as required. Please note that if you delete the sync configurations and again synchronize the contacts, then duplicate records will not be created based on the email address that is mapped.
