This post will explain how to install the Apptivo Contact Sharing app from the G Suite marketplace, then enable it to sync contacts within your firm.

This sequence will allow all contacts to be shared with all employees at once. If you require advanced level permissions, where certain contacts are restricted for some employees, you’ll find a link to instructions at the bottom of this page.
