Where are my Gmail Contacts?


Yes, your contacts from Outlook migrated to Gmail!

Google puts your Contacts in a stand alone application, much like your cell phone. To find them, go to your Google Apps Launcher (waffle) and then Contacts.


Within Contacts, click on Directory to see all of your organization's students and employees.

Create a NEW Contact:
Click the sign in the bottom right-hand corner and add as much or as little  information as you prefer. These contacts will show under Contacts (not Directory).

Create a Group Contact
Email groups are created in Contacts by applying Labels.
1. On the left menu, click + Create Label. Name your group.
2. While in Directory, Contacts, Frequently Contacted or Other Contacts, EITHER:

  • Choose the individuals for your group by putting a check mark next to their name and then selecting. Choose the preferred label.




    • OR search for contacts using the search bar and click to open their profile. Click on More (3 dots) and choose the correct label.



    Email a Group Contact
    To email a group- in the 'To' field, start typing the group name, then select the group from the list that appears. You will see a list of contacts in the 'To' field.

    To Delete a Group Contact
    Hover over the Label Name and select the Remove (trash can) icon.

    To Share a Group Contact
    Click here for directions to share a Group Contact list with others.

    1. I currently have nothing in my gmail (no contacts, emails, or calendars). I thought I did what I needed to set it up over the summer, and I thought that it was going to be an automatic shift. Am I missing something? Have we not ALL been moved over to gmail? Was there something I was supposed to do? I just want to make sure I ask before a put in a ticket for something that I should have handled myself!

    2. That is correct. Not all campuses have migrated over. The timing of each campus move is dependent upon your principal. Thanks for your patience.
