[Google Contacts]Uploading item(s) to folder @gmail.com/Contacts’ failed due to the following error: Execution of request failed: https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/groups/default/full?start-index=1&max-results=*** (Contacts API is being deprecated. Migrate to People API to retain programmatic access to Google Contacts.
See https://developers.google.com/people/contacts-api-migration.)
I am receiving the above error any time eM Client is doing a full synchronization, or if I am touching my contacts through eM client in any way. Please advise if the development team is actively working on migrating to Google’s “people-api”
As of 6/2021 you must be on vers 8.2.x of eMC for your issue to be resolved.
Use this LINK for current version.
Okay, I made the mistake of not checking for updates first.
Now that I’m on the current version of eM Client, I now get error:
[Google Contacts]Uploading item(s) to folder ‘…@gmail.com/Contacts’ failed due to the following error: Parameter validation failed for “resourceName” : The value did not match the regular expression ^people/[^/]+$
You might want to remove the Gmail account from eMC and re-add it.
I am receiving the same notification. It appears that I have version 9. Where do I look to find the exact version that I am running? Thanks.
You will find the version in Menu > Help > About.
What notification are you receiving?
-
If it is about the Contacts API is being deprecated, you will need to upgrade to at least 8.2 or later if you are using an older version.
-
If it is about the value did not match the regular expression ^people/[^/]+$. go to the Contacts section of eM Client, then by right-click on the Gmail Contacts folder, choose Properties > Repair > Repair. This will resync the contacts with Google and the error should disappear.
You are right. I have an older version. But, when I click Help>check for update, nothing seems to happen.
There were some version 7 releases where the check for update did not work.
You can download the latest version from the Release History if you have a Free license, or the most recent version that your license allows that is listed there if you have a Pro license.
If your Pro license is only for version 7, then you will need to disable the Google Contacts service in Menu > Accounts, then in the General tab for that account, as you can’t use any later versions with that license.
I am now running the latest version. It did show the 2nd prompt and I did the >repair.>repair. Everything looks great now. Thanks, Thanks, Thanks!
