Last reviewed September 22, 2026

Source: Vendo syncs Gmail contact context through Google OAuth so teams can enrich communication workflows with known contacts.

Sync Coverage

Data	Description
Contacts	Saved Gmail contacts from the Google People API
Other contacts	Auto-saved contacts created from Gmail interactions

In Vendo, add Gmail as a source.
Choose the Google account that owns the contacts you want Vendo to read.
Approve the requested Google OAuth permissions.
Save the connection and start the initial contact import.
Keep the Google connection active so Vendo can refresh access tokens for future syncs.

Gmail uses Google OAuth. You do not paste credentials manually.

Credential	Description
OAuth access token	Short-lived token used for People API requests
OAuth refresh token	Stored by Vendo so future syncs can refresh access
OAuth client details	Vendo-managed Google OAuth application configuration

The source requests read-only People API scopes for saved contacts and other contacts.

Confirm the Gmail source shows an active status in Vendo.
Check that contacts rows arrive for saved Google contacts.
Check that other_contacts rows arrive when the account has auto-saved contacts.
Confirm contact records include stable resource names and primary email fields where Google provides them.

Gmail source sync is contact-focused. It does not import mailbox message bodies as source data.
Contacts and other contacts are snapshot resources.
Google may omit fields the account has not populated or has not granted through People API access.
