Import / sync contacts from Google
complete
Joda Stößer
Contacts delegated to you from another account in Google Workspace are currently not synced. The same is true for "other contacts" automatically collected by sending email to them.
Company directory contacts are also not synced. It would be great to sync those to a shared address book in Missive, not just a personal one.
Is this out of scope for this request? Should this be a different ticket?
Rafael Masson
Joda Stößer: If this Google Workspace account is shared as a team inbox in Missive, you can enable contact syncing on the account and everyone with access to the team inbox will get access to the contacts. If you have a use case where someone is delegating their Google contacts with you but they don’t want to share their emails, then yes you should open a separate ticket. Thanks!

You can now automatically sync contacts with your Google and Office 365 accounts.
For accounts already imported, you can enable syncing from the Contacts tab in your account settings.

Philippe Lehoux: SO EXCITED to see this getting attention!! Right now, our onboarding and contact change processes are so silly with:
1) Update contact in Google
2) Update contact in Missive
... for every single contact change we make... which happens all of the time for a growing company.
Can't wait to see it :-).

Yeah this one is a big one for my team. We have over 10k of contacts already in Google. I would think given there is already a google integration that this shouldn't be a tall order.
Philippe Lehoux
Nicholas Egan: It's being developed now, should be released soon.
Nicholas Egan
Philippe Lehoux: perfect thank you
Robert Aguirre
Thank you for providing an option to sync contacts but this is not a good feature. Why do we have to pay for another service in order to sync contacts when you are integrated with Gmail already. Please revisit this and make it better!! Missive is too much of a powerhouse for email to have to use a 3rd party app in order to complete something that could be integrated with no issues.

Robert Aguirre: You are absolutely right, on the other hand PieSync is very expensive in a world where address books grow and grow
Philippe Lehoux
You can now use the PieSync <-> Google integration to sync your Google contacts with a Missive contact book. https://missiveapp.com/integrations/piesync/googlecontacts
Geoff Ball
Philippe Lehoux: I respectfully hope this won't count as completing this feature request, as that's a fairly expensive service.
Philippe Lehoux
Geoff Ball: I did not close it, given Google Contact is a massive service and we might support this in house at some point.
Skyler Reeves
Philippe Lehoux: Please do. It would be a huge quality of life update.
Rodrigo A. Debia Riquelme
Philippe Lehoux: PieSync is very expensive option, dont help for large book contacts
Geoff Ball
It would be great if this automatically made suggestions when using search operators (for example, if I type
from:
and then start to type a name or email address, I think it should be populating a dropdown so I don't always need to type the full email address).Leo Khoo
I’ve been requesting this feature for awhile ! Really hope they implement this .
