How do I list Google Contacts?
Short answer: You can list google contacts in Google Contacts by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Google Contacts List Google Contacts action to a workflow, map its 2 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Google Contacts returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does List Google Contacts support batch operations?
