Powershell and Outlook: Create a new Outlook Contacts using Powershell Module.

Hi,

Good Evening everyone.

In my previous post, we created a Powershell function using Ms Outlook com objects. That functions creates new calendar meetings.

We use that function on Powershell console or in our scripts too.

Today I converted the script in to module , so that we can use it whenever we want.

I named the module to “OutlookTools”.

Today i added one more function to the module.

Now we can create a new Outlook contact using this new function. The Name of the function is “New-OutlookContact”.

Using “New-OutlookContact” we can create a new contact on the Powershell console, without switching to the Outlook applications.

How to do that.

Let me show you.,

First download the “OutlooTools.Psm1” and .psd1 file from https://github.com/AmanDhally/OutlookTools
Create a folder Name “OutlookTools” in “Libraries\Documents\WindowsPowershell\Modules”
and paste both files there.

Now open Powershell console and run the cmdlet,

Import-Module OutlookTools

By running the Get-Command cmdlet, we can see which cmdlet and function this modules had added.

Get-Command -Module outlooktools

In my previous post, I already explained about “New-OutlookCalendarMeeting” , and the “New-outlookContact” is a new function.

As I mentioned above that using “New-OutlookContact” we can create a new outlook contacts.

lets try creating some contacts.

Example : 1

Create a new simple outlook contact using first name and last name.

New-OutlookContact –FirstName “jhonson” –LastName “Smit

and here is the result in Outlook.

Example 2 :

Create a new contact with Mobile Number.

New-OutlookContact –FirstName “Ajit” –LastName “Singh” –MobileNumber “9910129889”

and here is the result again.

Example : 3

Create another outlook contact, with website, and company name field.

New-OutlookContact –FirstName “Jujhar” –LastName “Singh” –Website “www.js.com” –Company “Jujhar Studio”

and it works well too.

Example : 4

Create an another contact with , Notes, and Job title and business address.

New-OutlookContact –FirstName “Jorawar” –LastName “Singh” –BusinessAddress “Sarhind, Punjab” –JobTitle “Warrior” –Notes “I saw him in a Sikh Temple”

working perfectly.

Example:5

Lets use all parameters.

New-OutlookContact –FirstName “Fateh” –LastName “Singh” –Birthday “05/01/1999” –BusinessPhone “0999999” –BusinessAddress ‘Sarhind, Punjab’ –Company “Khalsa” –EmailAddress ‘fateh@khalasa.com’ –HomeAddress ‘Talwandi,Punjab’ –JobTitle ‘warror’ –MobileNumber “90909090′
