Just a heads up that the Google Contacts import can now be used with Google Apps mailboxes. See this post on the PIAF Forum for details.

Just a heads-up (and should go without saying…), but you need to make sure you have lame installed on your system for this to work. If you’re not running pbx-in-a-flash, you may need to manually install it with the following commands:

wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-rel ease-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm

rpm -ivh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm

yum install lame

Hope this helps.

[WM: Thanks. All current versions of PBX in a Flash and Incredible PBX include lame in the base installs.]

googlecontacts.py seems not to work with google apps mailboxes (login issues). I get a block of characters then "There was an error in your request.\nThat's all we know.’, ‘reason’: ‘Unauthorized’ "
The account is not two-factor, so it’s not that it needs an application specific password.
Any ideas?

BTW, I had been looking at this synchronization issue as well. Came up with a google script that exports all contacts with at least one phone number as a list in the body of an email and sends it wherever specified. Figured I’d create a malbox just for contacts, then pull it down via python’s imaplib.
I took this approach to sidestep Google’s APIs, which have been something of a moving target.
Anyway, you’re welcome to the script if you have a use for it; I was planning to post it on the PIAF forum when I’d completed the python/imap/db update code.

Hi Ward,

I tested the Wav–>MP3 and transcription script on PIAF Purple (1.8), and it worked fine. Is there anyway to increase transcription length to 30 seconds?

Thanks for the goodies.

How about suggestions on how to make this work with Sugar CRM?
