Connect your Google account
Sign in with Google and approve read access to your contacts. Nothing else on the account is touched.
Google Contacts integration
Import the contacts already in your Google account
Connect your Google account and bring your saved contacts across — no export, no file, no mapping. Read-only: we never write anything back.
How to connect
Up and running in 3 steps
Most businesses already keep their customers in Google Contacts — it is where a phone syncs and where a shared workspace address book lives. Connect the account once and those contacts come into SmartEngage directly, with names, numbers, companies and job titles intact.

Why use it
What Google Contacts gives you
Read-only, always
We ask for the contacts read scope and nothing more, so nothing in your Google account can be changed by us.
No file in the middle
No export, no upload, no stale copy sitting in a downloads folder.
Full detail preserved
Company and job title come across alongside the number, so your messages can use them.
