Quick summary
In 2021, we introduced a new Google Contacts (contacts.google.com) experience that provides rich information about your colleagues and stakeholders. Starting today, every contact with a Workspace email has a new profile link that is easy to copy, share, and send within an organization. This new profile link helps everyone in your organization get in touch and stay connected.
Getting started
- Admins:
- Given this feature is only surfaced for contacts that have an email connected to their Workspace profile, it’s helpful to have user data fully populated across Google Workspace apps. Workspace admins can populate this data in a few locations:
- The “Users” section of the Admin console
- Google Cloud Directory Sync
- Admin SDK
- Visit the Help Center to learn more about adding information to a user’s Directory profile.
- End users:
- Once available, access “Copy profile link” by one of two ways:
- In the detailed view for a contact, select the "3-dot-menu" and click the "Copy profile link" button.
- In a contact list view (e.g. contacts.google.com), select the "3-dot-menu" for a contact row and click the "Copy profile link" button.
- You can also enter "contacts.google.com/emailaddress
" into the web browser address bar to look for a person in your organization. Email formats include: [email protected], jane.smith@domain, and jane.smith.
Rollout pace
- Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Extended rollout (potentially longer than 15 days for feature visibility) starting on June 30, 2022, with anticipated completion by July 18, 2022. Due to the staggered nature of this rollout, end users may be able to copy profile links from their browser address bar before having access to the "Copy profile link" button.
Availability
- Available to all Google Workspace customers, as well as legacy G Suite Basic and Business customers
- Not available to users with personal Google Accounts
