Let’s break down how to seamlessly connect these two powerful tools.

Step-by-Step Guide to Integrate Outlook Contacts with OpenPhone

Set Up Your Integration Using Zapier

To get started, head over to Zapier (zapier.com) where you’ll need to log in or create an account if you haven’t already. Once you’re set up, click on “Create Zaps” to initiate the integration process.

Select Your Trigger

For the integration, choose the Microsoft Outlook connector and set the trigger to “New Contact.” This means that every time you create a new contact in Outlook, it will trigger the action to create a contact in OpenPhone. You have the option to specify a particular folder in Outlook, but leaving it open will ensure all new contacts are integrated.

Test the Trigger

After configuring your trigger, it’s essential to test the setup. Zapier will pull an existing record from Outlook to ensure everything is functioning correctly. You’ll see fields like display name, given name, surname, and phone number — all of which are vital pieces of information that can easily be transferred to OpenPhone.

Create or Update Contacts in OpenPhone

Next, select the OpenPhone connector and set the action to “Create or Update a Contact.” This step is crucial, as it allows you to update existing contacts instead of creating duplicates. By mapping the contact details from Outlook, such as first name, last name, phone number, and company information, you ensure that all relevant data is captured in OpenPhone.

Utilize Unique Identifiers

Enhance your integration by incorporating unique identifiers. This feature allows OpenPhone to match new contacts with existing ones, ensuring that updates to contact information are synchronized without creating multiple entries.

Publish and Test Your Integration

After mapping all the necessary fields, hit continue, run a test step, and publish your Zap. Congratulations! Your integration is now live, and new contacts added to Outlook will reflect in OpenPhone automatically.

Why Automate Your Contact Management?

Automation is the key to maximizing efficiency in your workflow.
By integrating Outlook with OpenPhone, you not only save time but also enhance data accuracy and accessibility. No more hassle of manually entering contacts in multiple platforms—everything syncs effortlessly.
If you're using other contact management systems, like Google Contacts or various CRMs, or if you want to explore different messaging software integrations, you can implement similar processes as described above.
