Using Zapier for Cross-App Data Sync
Keep your apps in sync with Zapier. Automatically sync contacts, deals, and records across CRMs, spreadsheets, databases, and marketing tools.
Overview
Zapier keeps your data consistent across every tool in your stack. Instead of manually copying contacts between your CRM and email platform, or re-entering deal data into spreadsheets, Zapier syncs records bidirectionally in real time — ensuring every team works from the same source of truth.

How it works
Getting started
- 1
Identify the apps you need to sync (e.g., HubSpot and Google Sheets, Salesforce and Mailchimp)
- 2
Create a Zap with the source app as the trigger (e.g., new or updated contact in HubSpot)
- 3
Add a search step to check if the record already exists in the destination app
- 4
Use a Paths step: if the record exists, update it; if not, create a new one
- 5
For bidirectional sync, create a second Zap going the opposite direction with the same logic
