What it does
Sync enriched contact data, manage deal records, and keep your Attio workspace current with automated create, update, and search operations.
Attio is a SyncGTM native integration — it runs on SyncGTM credits, so there is no external Attio account or API key to connect.
Adding the integration creates an Action column. It behaves like any other Action column — same dynamic variables, same Auto Run triggers, same per-row test before you run the whole column.
Available actions
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Create Record | Create a new record in your Attio CRM. |
| Update Record | Update an existing record in Attio CRM. |
| Delete Record | Delete a record from your Attio CRM. |
| Search Records | Search for existing records in your Attio CRM. |
Each action is its own column. Pick the one you need when you add the integration — you can add more than one from the same integration to a table.
The record flow
The actions above chain into the one loop every CRM integration runs: import records, search whether the record already exists, then create it if it does not or update it if it does. The full pattern is on the CRM page.
| Step | Action | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Import records | Search Records | A broad Search Records column is the import — filter to the list or object type you want and land the matches as rows. Turn on Enable Auto Import to re-run it on a frequency — new and changed records arrive on their own. See Manage scheduled imports. |
| 2. Search for the record | Search Records | The same action, narrowed to one record. Match on parameters with operators — is, is not, contains, is empty, greater than. Match on something stable, a work email or a company domain, never a name or title. Returns the matching record’s ID. |
| 3. Create or update | Create Record / Update Record | Create when the search returned nothing; update the record ID it returned. Delete Record is the fourth write action — keep it out of any auto-run chain. |
Wire step 3 with a conditional formula column that reads the search result and outputs create when it came back empty or update when it returned an ID, then auto-run each write column off that flag. Bring the Attio record ID on import — it is the key the update writes to, and matching back by name or email afterwards is how duplicates get made.
