Google Contacts node / Create Google Contacts needs updating: Country & Nicknames

Questions
1

Describe the problem/error/question

Here is the latest description of the Google People API.

There are various problems when creating a contact:

  • Addresses
    We can only set “countryCode”, which only sets the Phone Country Code, but not the Country itself in the address field.

  • Nicknames
    Even if nicknames are set to be retrieved, they are not. This is likely due to the fact that most items are deprecated with only ALTERNATE_NAME remaining.

You are probably gonna have to make custom API calls by using the HTTP Request node.

ChatGPT can help you to build those requests very fast.

I know that because it helped me build this template with Google People API:

But yeah… It’s hard to keep all nodes up to date with the latest API changes. When that happens, HTTP Request node is your best friend.

Thanks, @solomon.
Another problem I am facing is that it will not create contacts from BaseRow as Google Conctacts when these are in the Google Directory.
Any ideas how to fix this?

I don’t know what you mean when you say “Google Directory”.
Can you please show me an example? Maybe some screenshots so I can see the context

Hi Solomon,
I was referring to the Google Workspace Directory. However, we have managed to sync the directory contacts as well. (I don’t exactly recall how since we tried many different things, sorry.)
I believe we can close this topic.
Thank you!
