Troubleshooting

It’s possible that you still can’t access the shared contact labels from Doodle. In this case, make sure you enabled the “Mobile & Outlook” toggle.

We highly recommend making sure the Mobile and Outlook toggle is always selected. Activating the toggle ensures your shared contacts are synced to your general Google Contacts and not only visible in your shared labels, making integrations with Zoom and other various apps hassle free.
If after connecting your Google contacts with Monday.com, and you still can’t access the contacts of the shared label, make sure you enabled the “Mobile & Outlook” toggle.

As easy as pie! Now you can enjoy the use of your shared Google contacts right from Monday.com, thanks to Shared Contacts for Gmail®.
