How to create a contact under Google Contacts from Email Parser

    Email Parser is often used to feed a CRM with contacts captured from the received emails. The emails can be, for instance, form submissions from your website or people requesting information sending you a message. For small businesses and individuals, a good way to keep a list of customers or leads is just using the contacts of your Google account. In this blog post we will briefly explain how to add contacts to Google Contacts from Email Parser. Email Parser can communicate directly with many online services such as Google Sheets, Databases, Web APIs etc. but can also use Zapier to send data to a vast array of other services such as Salesforce, Facebook, Slack etc. We will use Zapier in this case to intermediate between your Google account and Email Parser.

    The steps for settings this up are:

1. Download and Install Email Parser.
2. Add your email account and then create a Parser that captures all the contact data from your incoming emails (name, address, etc)

4. Configure under Zapier which Email Parser fields correspond to which Google Contacts fields.
