How to Automatically Transfer Data from Google Contacts to VerticalResponse
Today, no progressive business can do without special programs that enable it to work faster and more productively. For example, Google Contacts and VerticalResponse services simplify contact management and increase the effectiveness of communication with customers. The first allows you to conveniently organize a customer database. The second automates e-marketing processes. You can optimize the use of both platforms thanks to Google Contacts and VerticalResponse integration. In this article, you will learn how to quickly and easily set it up using the ApiX-Drive connector.
What Slows Down Work With Google Contacts and VerticalResponse
Despite the advantages of Google Contacts and VerticalResponse, their use is often accompanied by difficulties that can hinder the achievement of business goals. Working with them can be complicated by several factors:
- Manual data entry. The user needs to open Google Contacts, select the contacts, copy them, and then paste them into VerticalResponse. This can take a long time, especially with numerous contacts.
- Errors in entering information. This leads to a loss of time and resources and also worsens the quality of communication with customers and marketing campaigns.
- Updating data. The user needs to constantly monitor and update the data, which can lead to late changes.
- Time to switch between services. Frequent opening and closing of Google Contacts and VerticalResponse takes extra time and distracts from the main tasks.
- Complexity of data management. The user should carefully monitor which contacts have been transferred and which have not. This can become a burdensome task, especially for large databases.
These factors can significantly affect performance. That is why it is important to investigate how to eliminate or minimize them.
How to Get the Most Out of Google Contacts and VerticalResponse
Connecting them together will help to increase the efficiency of work with Google Contacts and VerticalResponse. This allows you to automate data transfer, remove manual work, and, accordingly, significantly speed up work. VerticalResponse and Google Contacts integration ensures continuous data transfer between them. Each new contact that enters your Google database will automatically enter the email marketing service. Thus, the need to manually move information is eliminated. Instead, teams can focus on strategic tasks rather than wasting time on routine "copy-paste" of contacts.
For Google Contacts & VerticalResponse integration, we recommend using ApiX-Drive. It significantly simplifies the process of connecting services. Integration configuration takes only a few minutes and requires no programming knowledge at all. If your company does not have an employee with experience in the field of IT, this task can easily be handled by anyone else with minimal experience in interaction with computer programs. For example, this could be an accountant, manager, or administrator.
