Apptivo’s Contact Sharing for G Suite is very easy to setup. Simple contact sharing is extremely quick and works just when you follow the on screen instructions. Sometimes, Contact Sharing gets disabled due to API errors or user account errors. On other occasions administrators inadvertently turn off data access from their G Suite accounts. This post shows how to enable contact sharing when your contact sharing stops working due to these reasons:

To ensure “Contact Sharing” works properly,

  • We should ensure that Data Access is enabled in G Suite.
  • We should ensure the App access given.
  • We should ensure “Contact Sync” is enabled in Apptivo. Let us see how to enable these:
