Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google contacts and Box (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Google contacts and Box
Google Contacts + Box + Slack: When a new contact is created in Google Contacts, their details are saved to a new text file in a specific Box folder. A message is then sent to a designated Slack channel notifying the team about the new contact and providing a link to the created file.
Box + Google Contacts + Google Sheets: When a new file event occurs in Box, the automation retrieves user details from Google Contacts. It then logs the file access event along with user details in a Google Sheet.
