I have 2 questions
I want to add the email Contact to Exchange server.I have seen the sample code using EWS.But that code used to add the contact for user specific.How to add the contact domain specific.
I want to get the domain contacts from Exchange server.I dont want all the contact i need only the today's added or modified contacts.
How can i acheive this .Can any one help me?

I did not understand "contact domain specific" but I will share you my code. It may help
Adding contact
ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2010_SP1);
// you should set the credentials of the user and
//call AutoDiscover to get the service URL before executing the code
Contact newcontact = new Contact(service);
newcontact.DisplayName = "data";
newcontact.EmailAddresses[EmailAddressKey.EmailAddress1] = new EmailAddress();
newcontact.EmailAddresses[EmailAddressKey.EmailAddress1].Address = "data";
newcontact.EmailAddresses[EmailAddressKey.EmailAddress1].Name = newcontact.DisplayName;
newcontact.FileAs = newcontact.DisplayName;
newcontact.Save();
Note that the new contact is saved in the contacts folder in the mailbox of the logging in user.
Filtering the retrieved contacts
SearchFilter filter = new SearchFilter.IsGreaterThan(ItemSchema.DateTimeCreated, DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1));
FindItemsResults<Item> contactCreatedToday = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Contacts, filter, new ItemView(int.MaxValue));
foreach (Item t in contactCreatedToday)
{
try
{
Contact c = (Contact) t;
//do processing
}
catch (InvalidCastException)
{
throw;
}
}

I wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction here?
I want to monitor the Google Workspace estate, and when a new user has been created send them an email. I’ve looked through the APIs but nothing is jumping out at me. But I know there are 3rd party tools out there that do this, so there’s got to be something I have missed?
I just created this script in Google Apps Script which gets and prints the list of all the users that were created today.
You can use this as a guide and keep testing with it. To accomplish this I used the Reports API to get the admin logs and get the list of all the users that were created today.
function myFunction() {
var userKey = 'all';
var applicationName = 'admin';
var optionalArgs = {
eventName:'CREATE_USER',
startTime: "2022-03-23T12:00:00.000Z",
fields : "items.events.parameters.value"
};
var rep = AdminReports.Activities.list(userKey,applicationName,optionalArgs);
const A = (JSON.parse(rep));
var totalUsers = Object.keys(A.items).length;
for(var i=0; i<totalUsers; i++)
{
var userEmail = A.items[i].events[0].parameters[0].value;
Logger.log(userEmail);
}
}
You would just need to change the startTime value according to the date you need to use and implement the part of sending the email now that you have all the email addresses.

I have a C# Console application that uses EWS (Exchange Web Services) to impersonate a user and I create or update his current Contacts list.
In order to determine if I have to create or update his list, I first need to search his existing Contacts for a particular domain name like so:
private static IEnumerable<Contact> GetExistingContacts(ExchangeService service)
{
var domainToFilterOn = "#contoso.com";
SearchFilter sfSearch = new SearchFilter.ContainsSubstring(ContactSchema.EmailAddress1, domainToFilterOn);
FindItemsResults<Item> contacts = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Contacts, sfSearch, new ItemView(int.MaxValue));
var results = contacts.Cast<Contact>().ToList();
return results;
}
The problem I’m facing is that the method GetExistingContacts() yields 0 results for the given domain name which is wrong since I know I have a bunch of Contacts holding the #contoso.com domain name inside the EmailAddre1 field.
After a little bit of digging and testing, I finally figure out why the method wasn’t returning any results and the reason was because the email addresses are stored in the Exchange distinguished name instead of the SMTP format.
To further my investigation, I created a few new Contacts with fake/non-existing #contoso.com domain name like: test#contoso.com, gazou#contoso.com, etc.
To my surprise, the GetExistingContacts() method started to return these fake Contacts.
The conclusion is that whenever I create new Contacts that have resolvable email addresses, then these Contacts are stored using the Exchange distinguished name but when I create new Contacts that have non-resolvable email addresses, then these Contacts are stored as SMTP (which are returned by my GetExistingContacts() method).
How do I start fixing this?
Is my search method wrong? Is there another way to search inside the EmailAddress1 field?
Meanwhile, I managed to find a workaround using the .Load() method of the Contact object but this workaround seems ugly and costly in terms of execution time.
I basically get all Contacts, loop and call the Load() method, then add them to a List() and make a Linq query to filter the results. If my user has 800 Contacts, that takes a long time to Load() everyone of them.
Here’s the example:
private static IEnumerable<Contact> GetCurrentContacts(ExchangeService service)
{
var contacts = new List<Contact>();
var data = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Contacts, new ItemView(int.MaxValue));
foreach (var item in data.Items)
{
if (item is Contact)
{
item.Load();
contacts.Add(item as Contact);
}
}
var result = contacts.Where(x => x.EmailAddresses[EmailAddressKey.EmailAddress1].Address.Contains("#contoso.com")).ToList();
return result;
}
Needless to say, I don't think that is the correct approach although it works.
Another alternative I’ve tried was to force the RoutingType to SMTP thinking it would create the new Contact in the SMTP format as opposed to the Exchange distinguished name but unfortunately, the email address still gets stored in the Exchange distinguished name disregarding the fact that I forced the RoutingType like so:
var email = new EmailAddress();
email.Address = "goodemail#contoso.com";
email.RoutingType = "SMTP";
Contact contact = new Contact(service);
contact.EmailAddresses[EmailAddressKey.EmailAddress1] = email;
...
contact.Save();
If anyone can help me shed some light on this, that would be great!
Thanks in advance
If the SMTP address your trying to use for a Contact is visible (or resolvable) in the Global address list then the X500 address of Directory entry will be used to track the Contact to the Directory entry (this is by design). If you want to return the SMTP address instead of the X500 address when you retrieve the contacts all you need to do is make use you do a GetItem or Load in the Managed API on the contact or contacts in question if you have multiple contact use LoadPropertiesFromItems https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/exchangedev/2010/03/16/loading-properties-for-multiple-items-with-one-call-to-exchange-web-services/
You can override this behavior by setting the extended properties on the contacts directly see https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/2b375c56-bee1-4d88-b638-f95649ef964a/use-ews-create-a-contact-which-has-a-same-email-address-in-gal-it-will-show-up-with-x500-formatting?forum=exchangesvrdevelopment but I would recommended you stay with the default behavior you can make you code more efficient using batch Loads.
Thank you #Glen Scales, the LoadPropertiesForItems() helped.
This is the final result if anyone cares:
private static IEnumerable<Contact> GetExistingContacts(ExchangeService service)
{
var contacts = new List<Contact>();
var filterContactsOnDomain = "#contoso.com";
var data = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Contacts, new ItemView(int.MaxValue));
if (data.TotalCount > 0)
{
service.LoadPropertiesForItems(data, new PropertySet(ContactSchema.EmailAddress1));
foreach (var item in data.Items)
{
if (item is Contact)
{
contacts.Add(item as Contact);
}
}
}
var result = contacts.Where(x => x.EmailAddresses[EmailAddressKey.EmailAddress1].Address.ToLower().Contains(filterContactsOnDomain.ToLower())).ToList();
return result;
}
The only thing I dislike is having to get all Contacts (800 of them), load the EmailAddress1 field for all 800 of them, loop and add those 800 Contacts to a list and then, filter on that list...
I guess it would've been nice to have the ability to search (or filter) directly on an X500 email address format thus not having to fetch all 800 Contacts.
Oh well...
Thanks again #Glen Scales
I'm trying to get a user's name from their email and we are all on the same business domain. I saw a post here detailing how to do it if you want to pull from the contacts list. The problem is when I try it myself, it knows that there is contact for me, but it returns all of the values as null. If I use another contact email, then it pulls the info just fine.
The link says that there should be another way to do it but you need admin privileges. I can get that, but all of the links to the usermanager documentation are broken. Also, searching usermanager doesn't come up with anything on Google's developer site.
var email = Session.getActiveUser().getEmail();
Browser.msgBox(email)
var self = ContactsApp.getContact(email);
var name = self.getFullName();
With admin rights you can use the directory api. Do not forget to enhable the admin api in your appscript (Ressources > Advanced Google services) and also in the Developers Console.
function getUserName(email){
var result = AdminDirectory.Users.get(email, {fields:'name'});
var fullname = result.name.fullName;
Logger.log(fullname);
return fullname;
}
If parsing from the text, you can use like below,
var email = "john.doe#email.com";
var name = email.substring(0, email.lastIndexOf("#"));
console.log( name ); // john.doe
Hopefully help
I needed to create a script that uploads the resulting screen shots to google drive.
I was hoping I could just auth in as my google user, but that seems... harder? So I abandoned that tact. Next I moved onto service accounts. This works fine (now) for my service account, but when I attempt to specify a user ($auth->sub) I get "Unauthorized client or scope in request.".
function buildService($userEmail) {
$DRIVE_SCOPE = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive';
$SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL = 'notsupplied#developer.gserviceaccount.com';
$SERVICE_ACCOUNT_PKCS12_FILE_PATH = 'pathtofile.p12';
$key = file_get_contents($SERVICE_ACCOUNT_PKCS12_FILE_PATH);
$auth = new Google_Auth_AssertionCredentials(
$SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL,
array($DRIVE_SCOPE),
$key);
$auth->sub = 'myuser#gmail.com';
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setAssertionCredentials($auth);
return new Google_Service_Drive($client);
}
I'd love to abandon the service account and just auth with my regular google user if thats just as easy. Or solve how (in the api settings maybe?) I can ensure myuser#gmail.com can be used.
Refresh_token is the key here. In a webbrowser use this link to approve your google user:
https://accounts.google.com/AccountChooser?service=lso&continue=https%3A%2F%2Faccounts.google.com%2Fo%2Foauth2%2Fauth%3Fresponse_type%3Dcode%26scope%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fdrive%26redirect_uri%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%2Foauth2callback%26access_type%3Doffline%26client_id%3D<CLIENT_ID>%26hl%3Den%26from_login%3D1%26as%3D34eac985232ba748&btmpl=authsub&hl=en&approval_prompt=force&access_type=offline
which will return a URL like https://www.example.com/oauth2callback?code=
Then post code=&client_id=&client_secret=&redirect_uri=&grant_type=authorization_code to https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token
This will return a "refresh_token" parameter. Save this. Very important. If you don't get one you have to go to https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions to revoke permissions from your app.
After you get the refresh token you're good to go:
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setClientId($client_id);
$client->setClientSecret($client_secret);
$client->setRedirectUri($redirect_uri);
$client->addScope("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive");
$client->setAccessType('offline');
$token = $client->refreshToken('<YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN>');
$service = new Google_Service_Drive($client);
I try to fetch the content of certain google contacts via Google Apps Script. First I identified the ID of the contact via a getId Function. My Script is this:
var id = 'id';
var contact = ContactsApp.getContactById(id);
var address = contact.getAddresses();
GmailApp.sendEmail("email", address, "");
The return I get via mail is "AddressField", allthough the certain contact definitely has an address.
In Addition I also tried the following script from the official reference (which returns the same thing):
// Logs the address for the 'Home Address' field for contact 'John Doe'.
// Can be used similarly for other fields that contain addresses.
var contacts = ContactsApp.getContactsByName('John Doe');
var homeAddress = contacts[0].getAddresses(ContactsApp.Field.HOME_ADDRESS);
Logger.log(homeAddress[0].getAddress());
Can anyone help me?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best, Phil
This works for me :
function testContact(){
var contacts = ContactsApp.getContactsByName('some name in my contacts');
Logger.log(contacts[0].getFamilyName());// just to check it's the right one
var address = contacts[0].getAddresses();
for (var n=0;n<address.length;n++){
Logger.log(address[n].getLabel()+' : '+address[n].getAddress());// get all address fields for this contact + corresponding label
}
}
