Hello @user,

Thank you for sharing the details and the history ID.

Upon reviewing, it appears that the 400 error is likely occurring due to some invalid parameters passed in the request. Below could be the possible reasons:

• Invalid phone number format.
• Empty fields:

is there any way to prevent empty string to be sent? If I use router, it will be either a very long workflow and possibly run multiple times for routes of each empty string combination, or a lot (based on permutations) of routes of combination for each empty string combination.

I’m afraid there’s no workaround to prevent sending empty strings. However, you can add a ‘Text Formatter: Default Value’ action step for each field that might contain an empty string, and then map its output to the Google Contacts action step. This will ensure that a default value is passed to the Google Contacts action step during automation if an empty string is received in the trigger step.

Here is the perfect solution for this---

This usually means there’s a problem with your OAuth setup. Try these steps:

1. Check your redirect URI — it must match exactly in Google Cloud Console.
2. Enable People API or Contacts API in the API Library.
3. Use correct scopes like: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/contacts
4. Clear cache or try incognito mode.

Empty fields:

This is the cause. My custom field value is empty and Google reject it.
