Updating existing contacts in FollowUpBoss, Outlook, and RingCentral

Hi ​@alex perez 

You’ve mentioned 3 apps.

Can you clarify which 2 apps you want to update the contact in via Zap steps? (e.g. trigger + action)

Zap apps can be searched here: https://zapier.com/apps

Each Zap app has a profile page that lists the available triggers/actions.

Hey ​@Troy Tessalone,

Mainly FollowUpBoss and Outlook.

So, if I update a contact’s information in FollowUpBoss, it should automatically update the same contact in Outlook (or vice versa).

General logic is like this: trigger event > find/create contact > filter (if existing contact found) > update contact

Zap app triggers/actions:

• FUB: https://zapier.com/apps/follow-up-boss/integrations#triggers-and-actions
  • No trigger for updated contact
  • Trigger for Tag added to Contact
  • Trigger for Person Stage Updated
• Outlook: https://zapier.com/apps/microsoft-outlook/integrations#triggers-and-actions
  • No trigger for updated Contact
  • Trigger for new Contact

Does not appear either app has a true “updated contact” trigger event.
