The setup script has also implemented an update routine to update the task when the ContactAdder script is changed or to reset it to the default values defined in the setup routine. To install (or update) ContactAdder simply place both scripts in the same directory and start the setup script 😊

The actual script was supplemented at the relevant places by logging code, which can be switched on or off via a variable ($debuggingon to $true or $false). The code creates a separate logfile for each run in a subfolder. In order not to increase the number of logfiles excessively, only the 5 most recent logfiles plus the currently written logfile are kept (from ContactAdder as well as from the setup script). The number of logfiles to be stored can be adjusted to your needs by the variable $keeplatestlogcount. 

The script

You can find the script in our repository Repository. It is licensed under the MIT license.
