Send business card contacts to Google Sheets or your CRM

From a business card to Google Sheets or your CRM

Turn a paper business card into a contact you can act on, then send the details to a spreadsheet or CRM workflow you control.

Business card → reviewed NexHello contact → your n8n workflow → Google Sheets or your CRM

NexHello saves contacts on your device. After saving, open a contact and tap Send to your system when you are ready. NexHello never sends contacts automatically.

For the general setup and send steps, see Connect NexHello to another system.

Free n8n Google Sheets template

Download the free NexHello n8n workflow template. It receives a contact through an authenticated webhook, prepares and checks the fields, then appends or updates a row in your Google Sheet using contact_id to match contacts.

The JSON is free and provided as-is, without warranties to the extent permitted by law. It is a starting point, not a managed integration: you connect your own accounts, choose your spreadsheet, test the workflow and decide whether it suits your setup. No template setup or support is included. n8n, Google services, NexHello access and any separately agreed paid work are not included in the download.

Follow the illustrated steps on this page. Use test data first and keep your webhook credentials private.

Adapt the workflow for your CRM

You can adapt the n8n workflow for HubSpot, Salesforce, ActiveCampaign or another system with a suitable n8n node or API. You are responsible for configuring the destination, field mapping, permissions and duplicate handling. This template is not a ready-made native CRM connection.

If your business uses Workato, see the Workato business card to CRM starter. That example starts with a table and a new-contact email; you add the downstream systems you need.

For extra steps, different destination fields or changes to either example, see Naonis custom CRM and integration work. Scope, fees and any ongoing support are agreed separately.

What you need

• NexHello with webhook access enabled. Webhook setup may not be visible in every installation; use Help in the app to ask about enabling integrations.
• An n8n account or instance and a Google account with access to the destination spreadsheet.
• A test contact and destination so you can confirm the fields and repeat-send behaviour before using real data.

The template expects a Google Sheets header row containing contact_id; its Google Sheets node is set to match on that column and map matching field names automatically. It includes selected contact fields and send details such as event and time fields, a NexHello user ID and an idempotency key. Review the workflow and sheet columns before using real data, and only send details you are authorised to share.

For platform-specific help, see n8n’s documentation for the Webhook node and Google Sheets node.

Set up the free n8n template

Select a screenshot to view it at full size in a new tab.

1. Import the workflow JSON

Download the JSON above. In n8n, open the workflows menu, choose “Import from file”, and select the downloaded file. The workflow starts inactive; review it before publishing.

2. Connect your Google Sheet

Create a sheet with a header row that includes contact_id. Open “Save Contact to Google Sheets”, connect your Google account, then choose your own document and sheet tab. The template matches rows on contact_id and maps matching column names automatically.

3. Set up the webhook and NexHello

Open the Webhook node and use POST with the template path. Set up Header Auth with a credential you create in n8n. Publish the workflow, copy its production webhook URL, then enter that URL and the matching authentication details in NexHello under Settings → Manage connection. Test the connection and send a test contact before using real data.
