How to integrate Google People in automation workflow?
3 simple steps to make your Google People connected with other apps in automation workflows on WEXTL. Up to 10 minutes integration set up.
STEP 2
Connect Google People
When prompted, authorize access to Google People in WEXTL once. Google People credentials are encrypted and never shared with WEXTL. Authorization will be reused in any future API calls [3].
WEXTL wants to integrate with your Google People account. Approve?
STEP 3
Build a workflow
Build your workflow with Google People yourself or with WEXTL® AI Builder. Connect Google People to any available integrations [5], or use HTTP node to go beyond them.

How Google People connects and integrates with WEXTL
Save and approve your credentials once — WEXTL® stores authorization information encrypted and reuses the authentication whenever Google People app is called in workflows. That allows your communication automations to run without your attention, per defined schedule [7]. Explore documentation [6] for a detailed list of fields that Google People supports.
The following table illustrates what fields Google People integration require during authorization flow inside our workflow builder [4].
Video slide demonstrates how Google People is connected in WEXTL builder [4].
| Field | Type | Help |
|---|---|---|
Client IDRequired | text | OAuth 2.0 Client ID from Google Cloud Console → Credentials → your OAuth client. Enable the People API on the project. |
Client SecretRequired | password | Client Secret shown next to the same OAuth client ID above in Credentials. |
| Additional Scopes | array | Optional. Extra Google OAuth scopes to request on top of the default ones, one full scope URL per item (for example https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive). Duplicates of the default scopes are ignored. Use this with your own Client ID, and enable the same scopes on its OAuth consent screen. |
Connect Google People to popular apps on WEXTL
Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with Google People below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with Google People. If the app you search for is not available in WEXTL yet, you can use HTTP node [10] instead to integrate it directly.
Example automation with Google People integration
Select List Connections action from Google People - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in Google People, workflow will start [7] from List Connections node.
Search for Create Contact, connect it as the next step of integration sequence. You can use filters between List Connections and Create Contact, so only important data pass from List Connections to the next step. WEXTL gives you full control over the process of Google People automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].
Google People on WEXTL has 25 modules for combining communication automations. Explore Google People documentation for more.
Video slide demonstrates how List Connections and Create Contact [6] nodes are used in Google People workflow.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about automating Google People in your workflows.
Google People has no triggers, but it provides 25 actions including "Get Contact Group", "Get Contact Groups (Batch)", and "Get People (Batch)". Pair them with triggers from other apps to automate Google People tasks.
Integration has 25 actions, including "Get Contact Group", "Get Contact Groups (Batch)", and "Get People (Batch)", and more. Refer to our Google People Documentation for detailed inputs and outputs.
No. Most automations are built visually on the canvas by picking triggers, actions, and mapping fields. You can add custom JavaScript with Functions when advanced logic is needed — but our customers do that in rare cases [4].
Yes. Connections are authenticated per account, credentials are encrypted at rest, and you can enforce approvals and team-level access controls on any automation.
The Google People integration on WEXTL runs directly on its vendor public API — every field name, authentication method, and rate limit is controlled by Google People official API and covered in documentation [3]. WEXTL handles the request signing and pagination for you.
Absolutely. Where Google People provides native webhooks, you can use instant triggers to eliminate polling delay. For custom webhooks, WEXTL offers Custom Webhook node, so you can start automation whenever Google People or any other service sends event to webhook URL.
WEXTL is an AI-first visual canvas. The platform allows you to describe automation in plain text — and AI will wire nodes for Google People inside the workflow builder [4]. You can also use built-in workflow nodes (AI Agent, Human in the Loop, Condition, Aggregate Results) in pair with Google People modules to craft complex integration flows with branches, filtering, and conditional logic. There are absolutely no limits of what you can build.
