Google Contacts Custom Fields

[shikx]

Hi guys,

Just wondering what/where I have to insert in order to add a line of info in the notification emails that would be pulled from a custom field in Google Contacts?

Bit of context: I'm setting up notifications for staff anniversaries and we give out a bottle of Red/White/Beers/Rose - I'd like to add a custom field in Google Contacts that specifies this, and for the email notification to show it as well.

Thanks in advance! S

Hello @shikx, what you ask for should be quite easy to obtain given the modular structure of the script. And I will galdly help you doing this.
I could try to explain it to you here, but there is an easier way:

• fork this project (Click on the "Fork" button at the top of the page). This will create your own personal copy of the project you can edit and modify freely;
• open your project's page (you should find it here once you have forked the project) and follow this guide to add me as a collaborator: I will then gladly do some simple additions and edits to your copy of the code;

This way you will reatin a copy of your customized code and it will be easier for me to explain what you need to do.

Feel free to reply to this post if you experience any problems or have any questions.

Best regards

Hi Giorgio, I've now added you as a collaborator.

Here are some details of what I need - really appreciate all your help on this!!

1. It's an Anniversary notifier - "Birthday" changed to "Anniversary" - Date is added as Anniversary in Google Contacts
2. No need to show email/phone numbers on the notifications - just "Years of Service" to replace "Age" and "Gift Choice"
3. Custom field name is "Gift Choice"
4. Is it possible to set the notification email to come from " Anniversary Alert"? At the moment it's coming up as the pre @ part of the email address.

Thanks a mill!

Best, Shiki.

Working on it right now.

I'm closing this issue and re-opening it on your project.

I've noticed you have disabled the issue page on your project: could you enable it so that we can use it to communicate and solve problems which could arise?

Thank you

I've pushed to your repository the modified code.

Can I ask you to rename your fork to something else (for example "Google Anniversary Notifier") so as not to create unnecessary confusion?

If you have any further question or problem please open an issue on your repository.

Thank you
