Find contacts and manage notes in Chat

Find a person by name or email, review contact history and notes, and ask Chat to add or remove a note.

Review a contact#

Try “Find Jordan Lee” or “Find the contact with this email address.” After selecting the person, ask Chat to review their contact timeline, email threads, or notes. You can ask it to open a specific note or find messages associated with that contact.

Add or remove a note#

Ask Chat to add a note with the text you want saved, or to delete a specific note. Check that the contact and note are correct in the staged request, then confirm it. If the note is not the one you meant, cancel and clarify before trying again. See Understand Chat confirmations.

You can also ask Chat to sync Google Contacts, or to run the combined contacts and email sync. If the result is unclear, check the People page or sync status in the app. See Sync contacts from Google and Understand sync contacts status messages.

Sync contacts from Chat#

Ask Chat to sync Google Contacts when you want to refresh contacts from Google. Ask for the combined contacts and email sync when you need that maintenance flow. These requests run immediately rather than waiting for a staged settings confirmation. Check the sync status in the app if you need to verify the result.
