To build flows to and from Google Contacts, start by creating an HTTP connection.
Note: Your exports and imports must also be built with the same adapter type.
Get the API guide before you connect
To set up your connection, you will need authentication information from the app’s API guide:
- Base URI
- Token
- Relative URI
- Type of scopes
- Refresh token
- Refresh token path
Use your app’s API guide
Tip: You can often use the search function in the guide or Ctrl + F to find what you’re looking for.
Choose the Google Contacts API guide.
Set up an HTTP connection
Step 1: Get your token from Google
- Go to Google Playground.
- On the left, under Step 1: Select & authorize APIs, click the down arrow next to your app’s API.
- Choose your scopes. Note: Scopes are the type of access you want authorization for. You can find out more about each scope in your API guide.
- In the left panel, click Exchange authorization code for tokens.
- At the bottom right, in the code next to access_token, copy the string of characters. Note: Only copy the characters, not the quotation marks or comma.

- At the bottom, in the code next to refresh_token, copy the string of characters. (Copy only the characters, not the quotation marks or comma.)

Step 2: Connect to your app through integrator.io
