Major changes from the previous version
1. Change in Contact IDs and Label IDs
The format of Contact ID and Label ID values for existing contacts and labels respectively, has changed in the new version.
What to do: Please check whether the new IDs (Contact ID and Label ID) are passed correctly in the Google Contacts triggers and actions. Ensure that you reconfigure them if they are not configured properly. It also applies if you are using Contact ID as the 'Search query' (the unique value with which you can search for a record) in a Fetch action. You should also check whether the ID fields from Google Contacts are mapped correctly in other actions in your flow.
2. 'Group' filter in trigger not available
Due to the new API's limitations, the 'Group' filter in the 'New and updated contact' trigger in the previous version, is no longer available in the new version.
3. Output fields in triggers and actions changed
The output variables you receive from the triggers and actions may have minor changes. Some new fields are also added to the output.
What to do: You can get the output fields received from a trigger or an action using the 'Test and Debug' function in your flow builder. Next, check whether your flow is giving you the expected results. If not, please check the variables mapped to various fields in your flow's triggers and actions.
