Removing label/group from Google Contact

Hello,

I’m fairly new to Zapier and I want to create the following Zap:

Every time there is a 'New Unsubscriber' in Mailchimp, remove the contact's existing label/group in google contacts, and add them to another label/group in google contacts.

The only step I am having difficulty with is to “Remove the contact’s existing label/group” in google contacts since 'Update Contact' option does not allow to update the Label/Group of a contact in Google Contacts.

Any tips or suggestions for a workaround?

Thank you,

Snezhana

Hi @Snezhana 

You may have to use the Google Contacts API:

https://developers.google.com/contacts/v3#changing_group_membership

App APIs can be used in Zaps with the Webhooks action step: https://zapier.com/apps/webhook/integrations#triggers-and-actions
