contactGroups
batchGet— Get a list of contact groups owned by the authenticated user by specifying a list of contact group resource names.create— Create a new contact group owned by the authenticated user. Created contact group names must be unique to the users contact groups. Attempting to create a group with a duplicate name will return a HTTP 409 error. Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.delete— Delete an existing contact group owned by the authenticated user by specifying a contact group resource name. Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.get— Get a specific contact group owned by the authenticated user by specifying a contact group resource name.list— List all contact groups owned by the authenticated user. Members of the contact groups are not populated.update— Update the name of an existing contact group owned by the authenticated user. Updated contact group names must be unique to the users contact groups. Attempting to create a group with a duplicate name will return a HTTP 409 error.

"Other contacts" are typically auto created contacts from interactions. Sync tokens expire 7 days after the full sync. A request with an expired sync token will get an error with an google.rpc.ErrorInfo with reason "EXPIRED_SYNC_TOKEN". In the case of such an error clients should make a full sync request without async_token.search— Provides a list of contacts in the authenticated user's other contacts that matches the search query. The query matches on a contact'snames,emailAddresses, andphoneNumbersfields that are from the OTHER_CONTACT source.
