Google-contacts – Using Custom Contact Layout in Google Contact

google-contacts

I want to manage Google Contacts with custom fields.

I know I can do it one by one, adding for each contact the custom fields that I need.
What I am looking for is a way to "use a template" so that Google Contact create my custom fields for all contacts.

It would be acceptable to do it from Outlook or another client, and then Sync with Google Contact.

Any Idea?

Best Answer

As far as I know, there are three basic ways to sync Google Contacts

Using CardDav.
Using Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook (requires Google Apps Unlimited, Google Apps for Work and Google Apps for Government accounts and a supported version of Outlook)
Using the Contacts API V3 - Google Apps (requires programing skills)

The best thing to do then is to hide them.

If you are using the mobile app, then touch and hold on that contact (if visible) and touch on hide contacts. Then if you want to view it, go to settings. There you will find all the hidden contacts.

Google-contacts – Direct URL to a particular person in Google Contacts

In the "old" Contacts, if you click a contact, you'll get a string added to the URL like so:

https://www.google.com/contacts/#contact/32a3998f8ee63eb0

That'll bring you directly to the contact record if you put it in a link.

With the Contact Preview turned on, the same link will bring you into Contacts with the modal window for that contact brought up. However, I don't see an easy way to get that ID. Even viewing the source doesn't really offer any clues. That's not surprising, however, as it is still a product preview.
