How this automation works

Keep track of new contacts automatically. When a new Google Contact is added to a specified group, a row is added to your Google Sheets spreadsheet and you receive a notification on your device. Perfect for staying organized and reviewing new contact details as they come in. Note: Install the IFTTT app on the device(s) where you want to receive notifications.
