How this automation works

Automatically create a new Todoist task whenever a new contact is added to Google Contacts. This runs each time Google Contacts detects a newly created contact and adds a corresponding task in Todoist. Perfect for keeping track of follow-ups or notes about new connections. Customize the message to fit your tone.
