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.,

1. First download the “OutlooTools.Psm1” and .psd1 file from https://github.com/AmanDhally/OutlookTools
2. Create a folder Name “OutlookTools” in “Libraries\Documents\WindowsPowershell\Modules”
3. 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'

and here you go.,
