Can you export a list of contacts?

[Oscar Reinosa]

Hello everyone, 

I have a situation where we need to get the number of contacts a G Suite user has in order to confirm if they're missing contacts or not. We recently migrated from a legacy email platform to Google and some end users have reached me stating they're missing contacts. I have the number of contacts they had on the previous platform but I can't really confirm if they have the same number in Google (this is not available in the Admin Console). 

Example: john...@domain.com contacts me (domain admin) stating they had 30 contacts before the migration and now they only have 15. Is there a GAM command I can use to check this information? Does anyone know about a workaround for this?

I was thinking on delegating contacts access for each affected account but I wasn't sure if this is a good approach. 

Thanks for your help!

Hi Oscar,

gam user <user email address> print contacts countsonly should give you what you want.

There are more examples here https://sites.google.com/jis.edu.bn/gam-commands/people/contacts#h.p_uA5K7-xOzu_c ifg you need to see the actual contacts etc.

Cheers

James

Thanks a lot for your prompt response. I'll give that a try!

Hey James, 

I tried the command but it's stating that "contacts" is not a valid parameter. I'm not sure if that "contacts" parameter is not available in the GAM distro I have.

You need Advanced GAM (https://github.com/taers232c/GAMADV-XTD3) to manage contacts.

Thanks a lot for your response. I'll check that out, I wasn't aware that there were two versions of GAM.
