Google Integration
Import contacts one way from Google Contacts, Google Sheets, and Google Forms into a Simply Send subscription group. Each import is a Sync, not a CSV upload. Google access is read-only. Consent stays in Simply Send.
Overview
From Integrations, open Contacts, Sheets, or Forms. Connect your Google account, choose the source under From Google, choose the destination under To Simply Send, then Sync.
Google Contacts
Select contact groups and Sync. No field mapping.
Google Sheets
Select a spreadsheet and sheet, map columns, then Sync. Email or phone is required.
Google Forms
Select a form, map questions, then Sync. Email or phone is required.
How it works
All three imports follow the same path.
- 1Connect. Open the integration page and connect Google. Simply Send requests read-only access. Gmail is not used as the sending path.
- 2From Google. Choose the source: contact groups, a spreadsheet and sheet, or a form.
- 3To Simply Send. Choose the subscription group that should receive the imported contacts.
- 4Consent. Use Mark as subscribed or Mark as unsubscribed before you Sync.
- 5Sync. Simply Send pulls contacts one way. Large Sheets and Forms imports can continue in the background.
Google Contacts
After you connect, turn on the groups to import. Simply Send maps Google contact fields for you. Then choose a subscription group and Sync.
- Select one or more contact groups
- No column or question mapping
- Imported contacts stay if you disconnect
Google Sheets
Select a spreadsheet, then a sheet. Map each contact field to a column. Map email or phone — the other can stay unmapped. Custom attributes can be mapped the same way.
- Select a spreadsheet and sheet
- Map columns to contact fields
- Large imports run in the background
Google Forms
Select a form. Map each contact field to a form question. Map email or phone — the other can stay unmapped. Then choose a subscription group and Sync.
- Select a form
- Map questions to contact fields
- Large imports run in the background
Consent and compliance
Simply Send does not take marketing consent from Google. Before Sync, choose whether imported contacts are marked as subscribed or unsubscribed in the selected subscription group. Unsubscribe, bounce, complaint, and suppression rules stay in Simply Send.
Google access is read-only. Imports are one-way on Sync. This is not a CSV import and not a Gmail send path.
Disconnect
Disconnect removes the Google connection. Contacts already imported stay in Simply Send.
