Google Contacts Sync

We've been working on a variety of Google Apps/vTiger Integrations for a while now. The first product we will release is a Contacts sync. We're working through some of the remaining issues at this point, but here's a preview of what is currently working.

The beauty of a Contact Sync with Google is that Contacts in Google can easily be linked to smart phones like the Blackberry and iPhone.

Our program is a fully automated 2-way sync between Google Contacts and vTiger Contacts. Sync settings are set on the user level, and the synchronization routine runs nightly. Let's take a look.

vTiger->Google Settings. Select a filter to determine which contacts are sent to Google. Choose a Group to receive Contacts.


The user can limit the Contacts that are sent to their Contact list by selecting an available Contact Search Filter. By default, this will only sync Contacts that are assigned to the current user. The user can also select which Google Contact Group will receive incoming Contacts.

Google -> vTiger Settings allow you to choose which Google Groups will send Contacts to vTiger. You don't have to share your Family Contacts with your colleagues :)

The Google to vTiger Settings allow you to select which Google Contact Groups will send Contacts to vTiger. This allows you to keep a list of Contacts in Google that you don't share with other vTiger Users.

Once these settings are configured, your Google Contacts will start syncing each night. Additions, modifications, and deletions made in Google or vTiger will be reflected in the other Contact list by the next day.

If you can't wait, you can run the sync immediately with the click of a button.
