Zaps work while turned ON for new data going forward that matches the trigger step event and conditions.

Zap trigger: GContacts - New Contact

Checks for new Contacts every 2 minutes.

Existing Contacts will not trigger the Zap.

Hi ​@Isma 

Depends on how your Zap steps are configured.

Post screenshots showing how your Zap steps are outlined and configured in EDIT mode with the field mappings visible.

@Isma 

Use this Zap trigger: GContacts - New or Updated Contact

You would then need to update existing GContacts to get the Zap to trigger.

Hi ​@Isma,

At the moment, Zaps are only built to look at new and incoming information, and won't process existing data. You can read a bit more about this here: https://zapier.com/help/create/basics/why-isnt-my-zap-triggering-on-existing-records

This means that data created before the Zap is turned on won't be pulled in automatically. 

That said, if you're able to export that data as a spreadsheet or CSV file, you may be able to "import" them using a separate Zap. This guide has some great visual references for getting that workaround set up:

https://zapier.com/help/create/basics/bulk-import-data-into-zaps

Hopefully, this helps.
