I am trying to export name cards data from BizConnect and create new contacts in shared Outlook contacts folder, but shared Outlook contacts folder is currently not accessible on Zapier. May i request such feature to be implemented, please? i have tried to access through both Microsoft Outlook and Exchange, but could not find the shared contacts folder in either way.

 

App: Microsoft Outlook / Exchange

Action: Create contact in shared folder

 

Thank you.

Hi @sarazap,

Thanks for the clarification.

I did some digging into this, and it looks like we don’t have an open feature for the functionality you’re looking for with the Microsoft Outlook integration.

I suggest reaching out to our Support team so that they can create a feature request on your behalf. You can reach our Support team here: https://zapier.com/app/get-help

Hopefully, this helps.

Hi there @sarazap,

Welcome to the Community! 🎉

I did some digging into this, and it seems like one amazing Community member have found a workaround for this one. You can read it here:

That workaround enables users to connect Zapier to Shared Mailbox. I suspect it works for Shared Calendar and Shared Contact folder as long as one can reset the password in the same way.

Could you please give that a try, and let me know how it goes? 😊

Hi @ken.a,

Thank you so much for your advice! Sorry for my poor explanation, but i wanted to mean “another person's Exchange Contacts shared with me” by “shared contacts”.

 

Appreciate it if you could let me know if Zapier supports access to abovementioned contacts.

 

Thank you 😊
