Most powerful ways to connect ConvertAPI and Google contacts
ConvertAPI + Google Contacts + Google Sheets: When a file is converted using ConvertAPI, the automation extracts contact details from the converted file. It then creates a new contact in Google Contacts using this extracted data. Finally, it logs the conversion details and the newly created contact information into a Google Sheets spreadsheet.
Google Contacts + ConvertAPI + Slack: When a new contact is created in Google Contacts, the automation retrieves associated documents (assuming the file location is stored within the contact's information). These documents are then sent to ConvertAPI for conversion. Upon successful conversion, a message containing the converted file information is posted to a designated Slack channel.
