I want to “Add New or Update” the records in Airtable whenever Google Contact is updated/created. What modules should I use in the flow? Is “Google Contact - Watch New contact” or “Google Contact - Upsert”? I’ve tried both with no luck.
Right now I use “Watch Contacts” and “Create Record” - all contacts are added again and again, I have many duplicate records in my Airtable. ;-(

You will have to perform a **Search** in the Airtable for that contact.
Try using the [Airtable](https://www.make.com/en/integrations/airtable) “Search Records” module:
> Searches for specific records or returns all records.
For more information, see [https://www.make.com/en/integrations/airtable](https://www.make.com/en/integrations/airtable), and [https://www.make.com/en/help/app/airtable](https://www.make.com/en/help/app/airtable) in the help centre.
Connect the Search module to a router with two paths, and filters to check the result of the Airtable Search module.
- If there are results, update the record in Airtable.
- If there are no results, create a new record in Airtable.
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Thanks a lot Samliew, may I ask, what should I put in the Formula for it to compare the new phone number with those already in the Airtable?

Hello @Chloe_Chiu,
As @samliew, you need to get data from airtable and then compare it with the Google contact data.
Loop(Iteration) through all the rows of Airtable, then use a router, Then use 2 different routes for **found** and **not found.**.
Need to set filters like this [https://www.make.com/en/help/scenarios/filtering#filtering](https://www.make.com/en/help/scenarios/filtering#filtering)
In the filter settings use the field and its value for comparison. (values are data-type sensitive).
I hope this helps 👍
