add_contact_to_group

Windows

Purpose

Adds a contact of Microsoft Outlook's Contacts on Windows, found by contact_id or by name, to an existing group, found by its exact name ignoring case. The contact needs an email address: Outlook's groups hold addresses. A contact already in the group is answered with already_in_group: true. To make a group use create_contact_group.

Required inputs

• group_name — Name of the group, as outlook_contacts_list or Outlook shows it.
