Delete contact

[Andrea]

Dear,

I'm not able to delete a contact.

I can't understand what I'm wrong

I'm going crazy!

This is the Google example   ( https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/contacts/contacts-app#deletecontactcontact):

// The code below retrieves a contact with the email address "john...@example.com"
// and then deletes that contact.
var contact = ContactsApp.getContact('john...@example.com');
ContactsApp.deleteContact(contact);

This is my function.

 function delcon() { 

   var emailToDelete = 'te...@domain.com';

   var results = ContactsApp.getContactsByEmailAddress(emailToDelete);

  

   // even with this line the code does not work

  //var results= ContactsApp.getContact(emailToDelete);

   

 

 ContactsApp.deleteContact(results);

 

 };

Thank you for your precious help

The difference between  getContact and getContactsByEmailAddress is that the first one return Contact, but the second return Array of contacts.

function delcon() { 

   var emailToDelete = 'te...@domain.com';

   var results = ContactsApp.getContactsByEmailAddress(emailToDelete); 

  ContactsApp.deleteContact(results[0]);

 }

Dear Najim, thanks for reply.

Unfortunely your code not working for me :(

This is the contact to be deleted

This is the function

 function delcon2() { 

   var emailToDelete = 'pi...@pippo.com';

   var results = ContactsApp.getContactsByEmailAddress(emailToDelete); 

  ContactsApp.deleteContact(results[0]);

 }

This is the Execution 

I have no idea why it doesn't work.

If you have another suggestion I would be very grateful

Grazie!

Andrea

Najim, sorry.... some minutes ago i wrote that the code is not working ....

the code work and the contact is deleted.

but..... is it normal that the deletion of a single contact (my address book is empty!) takes so much time (427 sec.)?

As you can see from your log what takes 427 seconds is not the deletion process but the getContactsByEmailAddress method.

To me it looks like a glitch ... have you tried to run it multiple time with different bogus contacts ?

You get the same results or it's usually faster?

I did a test with two Google accounts and with different contacts. 

The result (many many time) is always the same.

I hope this slowness is due to a temporary problem with Google's servers

Tomorrow I'll try again (with fingers crossed :D )

Grazie

Best regards

I think problem could depend array is empty

one should probably test if condition is true (mail exist)

before run the delete command

I have already had lot of problem with contact,

script more or less blocked the system,

unfortunatly I don't remember well the reason

I think, if I remebr well, this depended I used export function in the precedent application

(because new one didn't have import - export function)

More or less i got problem, it was slow, it blocked system, etc..

So I cheched mails inside

and I have a mail wasn't see by the script,

it was invisible, not intercettable, this mail probably created problem

In reality I had one mail of difference. This email was one of my mail by the way (myself)

So, I think there are some bugs, but I suppose they can depend you used the old version of contact

I think if one check the mail before delete or use some try an catch can control better the situation

[Andrea]

Thank you all for your help !

I think (hope) that I have understand the origin of problem.

I thought my Contacts was empty but it really wasn't.

I have not considered the contacts coming from Directory (they are really many).

I thought the script only considered my personal contacts (excluding the corporate ones).

I'm still doing some tests but now the speed is correct.

I filtered the contact search based on a specific ContactGroup membership.

Grazie !

Best regards
