To use the Business API with Zapier App Connector, obtain your API credentials, configure the connection in Zapier, and verify access with the provided scope businesses.readonly.
In Zapier, create a new connection to the Business API using the credentials from the previous step and test the connection to confirm endpoints return data.
Key endpoints: GET /businesses, GET /businesses/{businessId}, POST /businesses, PUT /businesses/{businessId}, DELETE /businesses/{businessId}. Other endpoints may be available in the full API docs.
Trigger: A new or updated business in your system starts a sync to AccuLynx
Actions: POST /businesses to create or PUT /businesses/{businessId} to update; map fields like name, address, contact
POST /businesses
Required fields include name, contact and address; optional fields include phone, status and notes
Trigger: When an order is created, fetch the related business data from the Business API
Actions: GET /businesses/{businessId} to retrieve data; use response to enrich downstream steps
GET /businesses/{businessId}
Requires businessId; expected fields include id, name, contact, address
Trigger: ERP batch completes and sends updates for multiple businesses
Actions: Batch update via PUT /businesses/{businessId} for each record; ensure field mappings align
PUT /businesses/{businessId}
Key fields include businessId and changedFields such as status or lastUpdated
No code workflows let you connect systems and automate data moves without writing code

A concise glossary of terms used when integrating the Business API with Zapier App Connector and how these concepts fit into your data flow
API stands for Application Programming Interface and defines how software components talk to each other via endpoints
An endpoint is a specific URL in the API that performs an action, such as listing businesses
Authentication verifies identity so apps can access the API, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens
A webhook is a server-to-server notification that informs your app of events in real time
When a new lead is added in your CRM, automatically create a corresponding business in AccuLynx via POST /businesses and map core fields
Push milestone changes to status fields in AccuLynx to keep teams aligned and deadlines met
Schedule a nightly batch job to push updates to multiple businesses using PUT /businesses/{businessId} and handle conflicts gracefully
Obtain your API key or OAuth details from the Business API console and note the required scopes
In Zapier, create a new connection to the Business API using the credentials from Step 1 and test authentication
Configure triggers and actions, map fields, and run a test to ensure data flows as expected
The Business API exposes endpoints to manage AccuLynx data from Zapier. Use this to create, read, update, or delete businesses as needed. Start with listing businesses to see available fields and responses. Next, authenticate and test a few requests to confirm your connection works as expected.
Authentication is done via API keys or OAuth tokens. In the Zapier App Connector, configure the credentials, select the correct scope (readonly for viewing), and run a test call to verify access to GET /businesses. Rotate credentials securely as needed.
Available endpoints include listing, retrieving specific business records, creating, updating, and deleting. Depending on your plan, additional endpoints may be provided in the full API docs. Always refer to the latest docs for endpoint details.
No coding is required to connect the Business API to Zapier App Connector. Use built-in triggers and actions, map fields, and test steps in a visual builder. For advanced scenarios, small JSON payload tweaks may be used in templates.
Data mapping aligns fields from the trigger or action to the API fields. Create a field map in Zapier to ensure names, types, and formats match the API expectations, and use sample data to validate.
Yes. Zapier provides test modes and sandbox environments. Run tests against sample records and verify data flows end to end before enabling live runs.
If you need help, contact Rankr support or consult the API docs for troubleshooting tips and endpoint references.
