Confirm the consent of your contacts

Only contacts who have consented to receive updates from you in the last two years can be imported into Brevo. That's why, before activating the integration, we ask you to confirm that your import adheres to our conditions:

• If you are importing only contacts who have consented to receive updates from you, check the box.
• If you are importing contacts who have not consented to receive updates from you (e.g. contacts from a purchased or rented list), make sure you clean your Google contact list and remove any contact that does not adhere to our conditions before restarting the integration setup again.
  
  ❗️ Important

  Brevo reserves the right to suspend or cancel any email or SMS campaigns sent to contacts that did not consent to receive updates from you.

Activate the integration

To activate the integration, click Save settings and activate app. You will be redirected to the My Integrations page, where you can view and manage the new Google Contacts integration.

Part 2: Check your contacts

Now that you have connected and configured the Google Contacts integration in Brevo, your Google contacts will be imported into Brevo. The sync process may take several minutes depending on the number of contacts to import. You will receive an email once the import and sync of your Google contacts to Brevo are done.

Once you receive the email, access the list by going to Contacts > Lists and choosing the folder in which you created it. You will see that your Google contacts details have been added to the list of contacts you selected during the Google Contacts integration setup:
