I have iPhone 5c (iOS8). I recently added a recipe from IFTTT that lets me store any new contacts I add on my iPhone to a spreadsheet on my Google Drive account. I'm also using an app called "Connect" that is a contacts manager and dialer app. It also lets me group my contacts and call with only a swipe.
My problem is that this connect app doesn't trigger the IFTTT Recipe, that's only triggered when I add a contact via the default ios contacts app (icon). I'm using connect-app by default, and so all contacts don't get updated to the spreadsheet when I add them.
Therefore, I'm posting this question to request for an ios app that could let me add contacts easily with grouping/speed-dialing, and also trigger the IFTTT recipe. The recipe only triggers when adding contacts via the default contacts app. I require these contacts as a backup, cause Google doesn't keep deleted contacts older than 1 month of deletion.
That's mostly all.
Thanks for any help.

The IFTTT recipe gets information from a specific source (channel) that is defined in the recipe. In this case I assume that you use a recipe which imports contacts to a spreadsheet on Google Drive and then it only imports contacts from the contacts application (the built-in one).
From what I am aware of there isn't any application currently that offers this synchronisation with Google Drive via IFTTT other than the iOS built-in one.
