Google Contacts Sync not correct

Google Contacts Sync not correct

I have activated Google Contacts Sync between one group of contacts in Google Apps (CRMShared) and Zoho CRM (My contacts view). I have set up two-way sync and Zoho wins.

Before activating Google Contacts Sync I added 34 contacts to the CRMShared group in Google Contacts. After the initial sync, Zoho CRM also had the same 34 contacts (although a bit garbled due to lack of support for Norwegian letters).

Before the next sync, I added 2 contacts to the CRMShared group, to check if they were added correctly. The result of this next sync was 45 contact on both sides. After checking the difference, I found that the extra 9 contacts were all categorized as "Other contacts" in Google Contacts, which as far as I understand, are contacts not registered by me, but identified by Google based on mail correspondance (they contain only email address and nothing more).

All these 9 "Other contacts" had been added to the CRMShared group, but I don't know how they got to be included among the synced contacts. Did Zoho CRM include them, based on some criteria that I am unaware of?

Am I doing something wrong, or has anyone else had similar experiences? I hope someone can help me by shedding some light on this problem.

                                                I'd like to pull new leads from the CRM system, into Creator, on a daily basis. Is this possible?   Yes, it is possible. Zoho Creator and Zoho CRM are integrated with each other, enabling you to synchronize data between them. This is done by fetching records from CRM into a Zoho Creator form. In order to achieve this, you'll have to configure a workflow alert in Zoho CRM.  For instance, you can maintain the lead details in CRM on a separate form in Zoho Creator by fetching the details automatically
