Thanks, great script, work like a charm !
If I want to create contact in a new contact folder (under root folder) with Create ContactFolder cmd, how can I integrate it ?
I find this ressource (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-post-contactfolders?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=powershell) but fail to implement.

Hi Yuki,
It may just be a syntax error in the JSON if it’s picking up a bad request. I haven’t tested but as mobile phone is a string value and not a collection like businessPhones, what you would need is:

“mobilePhone”: “$($contact.mobilePhone”,

Hey
really cool script and I got it to run, but I would really love to add a 2nd phone number.
I already tried to modify the script and csv by adding
“mobilePhone”: [
“$($contact.mobilePhone)”,
to the
$ContactObject = @”
but as soon I do a change and run the script I get error code (400) Bad Request

I have a bit of a quirk. I ran the script and used the sample csv provided.
If i click on Address Book in Outlook and use the Contacts drop down it only shows Bruce Wayne
But if i click on the contacts button or People button in Outlook it shows my pre-existing contacts.
Does this script in any way over write any existing contacts?

Hi Sean,
I want to use “+” as well in the phone number for the country code. If I have + then the script wont work. Is there a way to include + character in the csv file for phone numbers. That would be a great help Sean.
If you can suggest me anything that will help me a lot.

In reply to KJ. I don't have one already created but if you use this as a base and look at using DELETE instead of POST that would work
