A Quick Demo of Google Contacts Sync

Let's take a look at how easy it is to send a contact from vTiger to Google using Boru Google-vTiger Contact Sync, the first of many Google Apps Integrations.

If it's your first time using the sync, you'll have to authorize vTiger to access your Google Contact data. You only have to do this once. Just go to 'My Preferences':

Go to My Preferences and authorize vTiger to access Google Contacts data

Click the link to begin the authorization process.
If you don't have and authorization token, you'll be asked to get one from Google.
Click 'Grant Access' and you're all set.

The default settings only send Contacts that are assigned to you. You can change this to match any of your Contact filters on the Settings Page. For now, we'll just create a new Contact assigned to our demo user.
Create a Contact in vTiger.

As soon as you save the contact, it is sent to your Google account.
You'll immediately find the Contact in your Google Contact list.

The sync will be available early next week. Contact Boru for more information.
