Gmail contact lookup?

Post by Cashflow »

Hi

I can't see anything in the threads for this or anywhere else online, if it does exist, sorry.

Is it possible to be passed a name or number of a person who's currently calling an Android phone and have EventGhost search for their google ID with a view to opening up their contact page in gmail/inbox?

I have Tasker and some plugins which will pull most of the relevant information but the sticking point now is being able to look up their contact id. i.e. https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contact ... {contactId}

See https://developers.google.com/google-apps/contacts/v3/for Retrieving a single contact

System details: Windows 7 /8.1 /10
EventGhost: 0.4.1.r1669
Limitations: None. I just want this to work so if it means buying another plugin or app then so be it.
Goal: When phone rings, if it starts with a certain string, open the callers gmail contacts page

Any help or pointers would be most welcomed.

Cheers

Yes you could but that take some work.

Android: Tasker(grad the incoming number) > AutoRemote (Send that number to EG)

EG:
1. Download your contact list nightly with URLs of each contact > Load that into a list
2. Receive incoming AutoRemote message > parse your list > If the contact exist > EG can launch Chrome and pass the URL.

:D
