[Google Contacts] Automatic import

TLDR: Pulling new/updated contacts from Google Contacts automatically, without the need to use mobile app.

I have so many workflows that save to Google Contacts already. It is incredibly irritating to have to manually go into the Dex mobile app every single time a new contact is added to Google Contacts, to have to request that it's imported.

Example cases where I need to do a manual import on Dex every single time:

  • Add contact from WhatsApp / Signal / Telegram / iMessage

  • Add contact from Gmail email

  • Add contact on MacOS contacts (synced to Google)

  • Add contact from external CardDAV application such as BusyContacts

In all these cases, the contact is in my Google Contacts Immediately. Why can't Dex pull from my Google Contacts like BusyContacts or any CardDAV application can? Even allowing manual pull from web/desktop would be better than having to do an import on my phone every time.

Thank you!

    This would be great but should be selective by gmail account. I'd only want this for my work email.
