I receive new contacts in Gmail every day and I want their details to land automatically in an Excel workbook—no more copy-and-paste. The only pieces of information I care about are the contact’s Name and Phone number; the email address itself can be ignored. The Excel sheet must follow a custom structure that differs from the classic “one-column-per-field” approach. I will share the exact layout once you start, but think of it as a templated worksheet where each new line has to respect specific merged cells, headers, and formatting rules I already use for reporting. Here is what I need from you: • A reliable script or small app (Google Apps Script, Python with Gmail/Sheets API, or any tool you prefer) that pulls fresh Gmail contacts once a day. • Automatic population of the Excel file in the custom format, overwriting or appending as we agree. • Clear instructions so I can adjust the schedule or field mapping later if required. Acceptance will be based on a one-click (or fully scheduled) run that produces an Excel file exactly in my template and shows the new Name and Phone number entries without errors.

★★★ Google Apps Script SPECIALIST ★★★ Hi, I recommend using Google Apps Script to automate the process of pulling contacts from Gmail and populating your Excel workbook. This will allow for a reliable and scheduled execution. I will create a script that fetches the required contact details daily and formats them according to your specified layout. The script will handle the merging of cells and ensure the data is placed correctly in your template. I can start immediately.

Your custom Excel template will break if the script tries to write data into merged cells without accounting for row offsets and formatting preservation. Most Gmail-to-Excel automations fail here because they treat the sheet like a database table instead of a formatted report. Quick questions - are you using Office 365 where I can write directly via Microsoft Graph API, or do you need a local .xlsx file generated and emailed to you? And does your template have dynamic row groupings that shift based on contact count? Here is the architectural approach: - PYTHON + GMAIL API: OAuth2 authentication to fetch new contacts daily via People API, filtering for displayName and phoneNumbers fields only, then caching processed contact IDs to avoid duplicates on subsequent runs. - EXCEL TEMPLATING: Use openpyxl to clone your master template, detect merged cell ranges programmatically, and insert rows while preserving formatting rules, formulas, and conditional styles you've already configured. - AUTOMATION: Deploy as a scheduled Cloud Function (GCP) or Lambda (AWS) with cron trigger at your preferred time, outputting the updated .xlsx to Google Drive, Dropbox, or email attachment based on your workflow. I've built similar contact-sync pipelines for 2 CRM migration projects where template integrity was non-negotiable. Let's do a 10-minute call to review your Excel structure before I write the insertion logic.

The tricky part here isn't extracting Name and Phone — it's keeping your existing Excel template intact, including merged cells and formatting. I can automate the process so new contacts are collected and added to your template on schedule, with the mapping kept easy to change later. I’ll also provide a short video showing how to adjust the setup. One thing to confirm: are these contacts coming from Google Contacts, or from Gmail messages? If you share the Excel template, I can quickly check the structure and confirm the exact approach.

Hi, I can build a lightweight automation that captures new Gmail contact details and places the Name and Phone Number into your required Excel structure automatically. I understand that your workbook is not a standard row-and-column layout, so I will work directly from your template and preserve the merged cells, headers, formatting, and positioning rules you already use. I can deliver: * Automated daily retrieval of new contact details * Name and Phone Number extraction and validation * Population of your exact workbook/template structure * Duplicate handling to avoid repeated entries * Scheduled daily execution * Clear configuration for appending or overwriting records * Simple documentation showing how to adjust the schedule or mappings later * End-to-end testing against your acceptance criteria Depending on where the final Excel workbook is stored, I can use Google Apps Script or a lightweight Python/API-based approach and keep the solution maintainable without unnecessary services. I am available to start immediately and can review your template first to confirm the best implementation.

When a contact is added without a phone number, the export can shift the merged cells and break the template. I'll write a Python script that pulls Gmail contacts, keeps name and phone, and writes to the Excel file with openpyxl while preserving merged-cell layout. The script will run on Google App Engine on a daily trigger, so the workbook updates without any manual steps. A common pitfall is assuming the Gmail API returns contacts in a fixed order, which can misplace rows if the sheet expects a set sequence. I'll add a tiny config file so you can change the schedule or map extra fields later without touching code. Ready to start immediately and deliver a one-click run that matches your template.

Two ways to build this, and the difference matters to you. A script that logs into your mailbox with your password is fragile and breaks the moment Google tightens security. The Gmail API with OAuth does not need your password at all, and you can revoke my access with one click. I build the second one. How it runs: on a schedule, it reads only new messages since the last run, pulls out the fields you name, deduplicates against what is already in the sheet, and appends. Rerunning it never duplicates a row, which is the bit most scripts get wrong. Honest limit: I can only extract reliably where the emails have a predictable shape. If they are free-form messages from many senders, accuracy drops and you will want a review column rather than blind trust. Send me two or three sample emails and I will tell you which case you are in before you spend anything.

Hi, I can build a reliable daily automation that pulls new contact data from Gmail/Google Contacts, keeps only the Name and Phone fields, and writes them into your existing Excel template exactly in the custom layout you provide. I will preserve the required merged cells, headers and formatting rules rather than forcing the data into a standard one-column-per-field structure. The workflow can run automatically once per day, with duplicate protection, clear error logging and configurable field mapping. I will also provide simple instructions so you can change the schedule or mapping later. Before hand-off, I will test the complete flow against your actual Excel template and confirm that new Name and Phone entries are inserted correctly without manual copy-paste.
