I am trying to create a code that saves new contacts and puts them in a certain group.
Creating a contact works great-
service = build('people', 'v1', credentials=creds)
service.people().createContact(body={"names": [{"givenName": name}], "phoneNumbers": [{'value': phone}],}).execute()
There is no problem in creating a group either-
service = build('people', 'v1', credentials=creds)
a = service.contactGroups().create(body={"contactGroup": {"name": "try1123", }}).execute()
But when I try to create a contact within the group I encounter an unknown error-
service.people().createContact(body={"names": [{"givenName": name}], "phoneNumbers": [{'value': phone_number}],
"memberships": [{"contactGroupMembership": {
"contactGroupResourceName": "contactGroups/'try1123'", }, }]}).execute()
error:
googleapiclient.errors.HttpError: <HttpError 400 when requesting https://people.googleapis.com/v1/people:createContact?alt=json returned "Request contains an invalid argument.". Details: "Request contains an invalid argument.">
I think the problem here is where the {contactGroupId} you are specifying in contactGroupResourceName, you are putting the name of the contact group you created, the id should be an int value for what can I see in the examples, something like "contactGroupResourceName": "contactGroups/123123123"
Most likely the call when you created the contactGroup should have returned you this id.
