Describe the problem/error/question
I can’t seem to get the google contacts node to give me the correct labels for contacts. In google contacts, they are called “memberships” and I get a unique one for every contact, often duplicated for the same contact, but completely unique between contacts.
What is the error message (if any)?
I should be seeing the same memberships over and over in an array, but I’m not. There’s no error messages.
Please share your workflow

Here’s some example json output. I have changed the name and phone, but everything else is the same. You’ll see below that the membership numbers are different between contacts, they never repeat, but should based on if that contact is in that label or membership. And those with multiple memberships are listed as the same one multiple times when returned in the json.
Is this a bug?

Here’s a quick python script that will check if there’s an issue. Just have a contacts.json file in the same directory and run it.
import json
from collections import defaultdict
from typing import Dict, List, Set
def find_shared_memberships(file_path: str) -> Dict[str, List[str]]:
# Dictionary to store membership -> contacts mapping
membership_contacts: Dict[str, Set[str]] = defaultdict(set)
# Dictionary to store results of shared memberships
shared_memberships: Dict[str, List[str]] = {}
with open(file_path, 'r') as f:
data = json.load(f)
# Process each contact
for contact in data:
names = contact.get('names')
if not names or 'displayName' not in names:
continue # skip this contact if no displayName
name = names['displayName']
memberships = contact.get('memberships', [])
# Add contact to each of their memberships
for membership in memberships:
membership_contacts[membership].add(name)
# Find memberships with multiple contacts
for membership, contacts in membership_contacts.items():
if len(contacts) > 1:
shared_memberships[membership] = sorted(list(contacts))
# Print how many duplicate checks are being performed
from itertools import combinations
memberships = list(membership_contacts.keys())
num_checks = 0
for m1, m2 in combinations(memberships, 2):
num_checks += 1
# Uncomment below if you want to see each pair being checked
# print(f"Checking {m1} vs {m2}")
print(f"Number of duplicate membership checks: {num_checks}")
return shared_memberships
if __name__ == "__main__":
file_path = "contacts.json" # Update this to your JSON file path
shared = find_shared_memberships(file_path)
if not shared:
print("No shared memberships found.")
else:
print("Found shared memberships:")
for membership, contacts in shared.items():
print(f"\nMembership ID: {membership}")
print("Shared between:")
for contact in contacts:
print(f" - {contact}")
