# Google Contacts

> June looks people up in your Google contacts and, in a Google Workspace account, your company directory, and saves or changes contacts following your approval settings.

Connect Google Contacts and June can tell you how to reach someone: the
email or phone of a saved contact, of a person you have mailed but never
saved, or of a colleague in your company directory. It can also save a new
contact, change one, or add contacts to a group, following your [approval settings](/docs/settings/approvals).

1. On the **Integrations** page, choose **Connect** on the Google Contacts row.
2. Give the connection a name (keep `default` for your main account), sign in with the Google account whose contacts you mean, and allow every permission Google lists.
3. Ask about a person.

> Example prompt: What is Anna Berg's phone number?

> Example prompt: Save Jonas Weber, [jonas@weber.example](mailto:jonas@weber.example), as a contact.

> Example prompt: Update Anna Berg’s mobile number to +49 30 7654321 and keep her other numbers.

## What June can do

- Find people by the start of a name, nickname, email address, phone number
  or company, in your saved contacts and among the people you have mailed
  but never saved. One person appears once, even when both hold them.
- Read one person in full: every email and phone with its label, company,
  title and department.
- In a Google Workspace account, find colleagues in the company directory
  the same way. A personal Google account has no directory, and June says
  so instead of guessing.
- Save a new contact: name, email addresses, phone numbers, company, title
  and department.
- Change a saved contact: its name, its email addresses or phone numbers,
  its company, title or department.
- Add saved contacts to one of your contact groups (labels). It only adds;
  it never takes anyone out of a group.

## Approving a change

Contact changes follow your
[approval settings](/docs/how-june-works/connections#a-step-that-needs-your-confirmation).
When June asks, nothing happens until you choose **Approve**:

- A new contact's card lists every field it gets.
- A change's card names the contact and shows each field it changes as
  old → new, for example `Phone: +49 30 1234567 (mobile) → +49 30 7654321 (mobile)`.
  A list of emails or phones is replaced as a whole, so the card shows the
  whole list on both sides.
- Adding to a group names the group and every contact.

If the contact changes in Google after you saw the card (you edit it on
your phone, say), June changes nothing and says so; ask again and it reads
the contact afresh.

A connection made before June could change contacts only reads. June then
says so instead of showing a card: reconnect Google Contacts on the
**Integrations** page and allow every permission Google lists.

## What June does not do

- It never deletes a contact. Delete contacts in Google Contacts yourself.
- It never changes a person you have only mailed, or a colleague's
  directory profile; save them as a contact first.
- It connects one Google account per connection. For a second account,
  connect again under its own name and ask June for it by name.

If the Google Contacts row says the service is unavailable, contact June
support. Repeating sign-in does not enable the service.

Google Contacts starts as personal only, like a mailbox: June uses it in
your own chats, not in your organizations, until you turn **Personal only**
off in its row's menu on the **Integrations** page.

If your Google Workspace administrator has restricted third-party apps,
Google says so on its own page during sign-in and does not return you to
June; ask the administrator to allow June.

Removing June from your Google account's third-party access also ends
[Google Calendar](/docs/integrations/google-calendar),
[Google Drive](/docs/integrations/google-drive),
[Gmail](/docs/integrations/mailbox) and
[Google Search Console](/docs/integrations/google-search-console); to stop
only Google Contacts, disconnect it on the **Integrations** page.
