Google Contacts: two-way sync for your personal CRM
Rare syncs with Google Contacts in both directions. It joins what can be joined and never quietly picks a winner: when Rare and Google disagree about someone, it asks you.

How it works today
- 1
Open Settings → Connections → Google
In Rare on the web, choose Connect Google. A guide walks you through creating your own Google Cloud client, so your contacts flow only between Google and Rare.
- 2
Review the merge
Rare prepares a plan for joining your contacts and shows you each decision. Nothing changes until you apply it.
- 3
Stay in sync
After the first merge, changes flow both ways automatically.
Questions
- Will syncing overwrite anything?
- No. When Rare and Google disagree about a person, Rare asks you which is right instead of choosing.
- Can I disconnect later?
- Yes. Disconnecting keeps your people and Sync History in Rare, and reconnecting the same account picks up where you left off.
