Troubleshooting

If after connecting your Google contacts with Smartsheet, you still can’t access the contacts of the shared label, make sure you enabled the ‘Mobile & Outlook’ toggle.

You should always activate the ‘Mobile & Outlook’ toggle. This ensures that your shared contacts and general Google Contacts are synchronized. Furthermore, it allows you to see your general Google Contacts visible in your shared labels. In turn, it makes integrations with HelloSign and various other apps hassle-free.
