Hi Aswatch,
there are some indications that Google are working on SyncML support
for
contacts. I searched around and found some articles, rumors, etc. If
this is true than syncing could be easily done with sync4j / funambol
which is already integrated in opentaps and will require some fine
tuning and a scheduled job to initiate the sync process.

hi Aswatch,
I like your idea. Anyway, I have some points:
1) It might be better to maintain gmail account info in user
profile. Then
users don't need to input input/password everytime.
2) Need to considering both one-way and two-way sync. (As sometime it
doesn't make sense to sync your private friends info into CRM from
gmail.)
3) Besides the sync button, You can implement a scheduled task
which can
sync automatically.
4) Considering not all users are using gmail, it might make more
business
sense to sync lead/account/contact between SFA and outlook/
thundbird. Then
users can access those info in offline mode. Furthermore, users can
install
some tools (like google outlook sync tool) to sync between outlook
and
gmail.

Hello All,
I plan to write the sync between Gmail Contacts and OFBiz Leads and
Contacts. I will be using GData API to accomplish this.
Following are the steps.
* A sub tab menu item - 'Sync to Gmail' is added to SFA
* The user presses on 'Sync to Gmail' tab
* The user is prompted for Gmail userid and password
* User enters the Gmail user id and password ( Gmail userid and
password
will not be stored in the OFBiz system)
* Gmail to OFBiz : Each Gmail contact is checked against the Leads
in the
OFBiz using email address as the primary comparison. If the Gmail
contact
is not found in OFBiz leads, then it will be checked against the
OFBiz
contacts. If it is not found then, the user will be prompted to
be put
either in Leads or Contacts.
* OFBiz to Gmail: Each OFBiz lead and OFBiz contact is checked
against
Gmail
contact, and if it is not available in Gmail, a Gmail contact gets
created.
Please provide your inputs.
