Question

I have been trying to get a custom Value from the Custom Field that is defined for most of our contacts, but we are not getting any data out of the script below, can any one figure out where I am going wrong with the script. below is the sample script I am using.

In the below script I am able to get the Primary email value, but the custom field value is blank for all the contacts even if the value is there in the contact.

function GetContactDir() {

var All_Contacts = ContactsApp.getContacts();  

var email = new String();
var cust = new String();  
var Con_arr = new Array();

for (var i=0; i<All_Contacts.length; i++)
{

  email = "";
  email = All_Contacts[i].getPrimaryEmail();

  Con_arr = All_Contacts[i].getCustomFields("Organization ID");  //NOT WORKING

  if (!(email=="") && !(email==null) )
    Browser.msgBox(email + " **" + Con_arr[0] +  " ** " + String(i) ); 
}

}

Answer 1

please try this :
use

`Con_arr = All_Contacts[i].getCustomFields();`  //without the string value

and replace you line Browser.msgBox ...

with this :

if(!(Con_arr.length==0)){Logger.log(email + " **" +Con_arr[0].getLabel()+" = "+Con_arr[0].getValue() )}; 

Then look at the logger (Menu>View>log)

EDIT : here is the complete simplified test code :

function GetContactDir() {

var All_Contacts = ContactsApp.getContacts();  

var email = '';
var cust = '';  
var Con_arr = new Array()

for (i=0; i<All_Contacts.length; i++){

  email = All_Contacts[i].getPrimaryEmail();

  Con_arr = All_Contacts[i].getCustomFields() ;  
  if (!(email=="") && !(email==null) )

    if(Con_arr.length>0){Logger.log(email + " **" +Con_arr[0].getLabel()+" = "+Con_arr[0].getValue() )}; 
}
}

EDIT2 : let’s try to take the problem the other way, searching by custom field:
(please replace values by valid ones)

function GetContact_test() {
var All_Contacts = ContactsApp.getContactsByCustomField('value of the field', 'name of the custom field');// note that the first term is a 'QUERY' so you don't need to give the entire ID, a single letter can bring results !
for(n=0;n<All_Contacts.length;++n){
Logger.log(n+'  '+All_Contacts[n].getFullName()); 
}
}
