#1255 - sync existing customers from SuiteCRM to Outlook?

Closed Bug? created by SteveS 5 years ago

if the synctooutlook box is checked for an existing contact it doesn't seem to add it to outlook. This is what shows up in the log (set to debug)

    more on this.... I have given up using the quickbooks/outlook sync tool to capture updates. We have an inhouse app that works much better. The plan would be to update SuiteCRM directly from Quickbooks then let this plugin move the changes to Outlook. However, I have been unable to set the sync contact flag for a new or updated contact. If I set it manually through the web interface the contact is captured by the plugin and moved to Outlook. However when I add a contact or try to update an exiting contact through the API I am setting sync_contact = true. The http response shows sync_contact having a true value but then if I query that contact through the API sync contact = "" and the web interface shows the checkbox as unchecked. Therefore no changes are being captured by the plugin.

    Thanks a lot.

    yet more. I have tried forcing the date_entered to the current date/time but still no luck. New accounts are only synced with Outlook if they are created manually. New accounts created through the API do not seem to ever be synced to Outllok

    Ok sounds like a lot of considerations here.

    1. Is this contact assigned to the Outlook's user. If not it won't sync.
    2. The sync_contact is unique relationship - check the database if the relationship is being added correctly on the table contacts_users. You could do an additional call that manually sets this contact relationship but worryingly that shouldn't be required and indicates a core issue on SuiteCRM itself.

    So just to clarify is the real issue that if you manually create a Contact via the v4_1 API and try to set the sync_contact to true that it doesn't actually set this field and thus won't be synced down to your Outlook via this plugin?
