Authenticate requests using your Adafruit IO credentials and the Contacts API scope (contacts.readonly). Use OAuth 2.0 or API keys as supported.
Obtain an API key or OAuth token for Adafruit IO and configure it to access the Contacts API data with the required scope.
GET /contacts/:contactId; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments; GET /contacts/; GET /contacts/business/:businessId; POST /contacts/; PUT /contacts/:contactId; DELETE /contacts/:contactId; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Trigger when a contact changes in the Contacts API to create or update a related task in Adafruit IO.
Actions: generate or modify Adafruit IO tasks, linked to the contact data.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Fields: contactId, name, email, lastUpdated
Trigger on new or updated contact to pull notes and push to Adafruit IO.
Actions: create or update notes in Adafruit IO with mappings to note content and timestamps.
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
Fields: contactId, noteId, content, timestamp
Trigger when a contact is tagged in the Contacts API to apply corresponding tags in Adafruit IO.
Actions: apply Adafruit IO tags and groupings based on contact labels.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Fields: contactId, tags (array)
Real-time data sync from Contacts API to Adafruit IO enables proactive task management and alerts.
Centralized data flow reduces manual switching between apps and minimizes errors.
Custom automations unlock insights from contact data, boosting engagement and efficiency.
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, field mappings, triggers, and actions that bridge Contacts API and Adafruit IO.
A person or record in the Contacts API you manage and synchronize.
A to-do item associated with a contact in the system.
A text entry attached to a contact to capture details.
A label used to categorize or group contacts.
Stream contact updates into Adafruit IO dashboards for instant visibility and action.
Create Adafruit IO tasks from contact events to drive workflows without manual steps.
Leverage tags from Contacts API to segment Adafruit IO datasets for targeted automation.
Obtain API keys for Adafruit IO and set the scope for Contacts API (readonly).
Define field mappings between Contacts API and Adafruit IO datasets.
Set up triggers and actions, then run end-to-end tests to verify flow.
The Contacts API is a programmatic interface for reading, creating, updating, and deleting contact records. It enables you to fetch contact details, tasks, notes, and other related data. This page explains how to connect Adafruit IO to this API to automate data flows.
Adafruit IO is a platform for collecting, visualizing, and automating data from connected devices. When connected with the Contacts API, you can push contact-driven events into Adafruit IO dashboards and automations.
Most integrations use API keys or OAuth tokens. Provide the proper credentials with the contacts.readonly scope for safe access to contact data.
Key endpoints include getting contacts, notes, tasks, and tags. A full list is provided in the endpoint section to guide implementation.
Map identifiers (contactId), basic fields (name, email, phone), and related items (notes, tasks, tags). Use consistent data types across systems.
Yes. Start with a test environment or sandbox and use sample data to validate calls before going live. Many platforms offer mock responses for testing.
API docs are typically found in the developer portal for the Contacts API and the Adafruit IO integration guide. Look for endpoints, authentication, and sample payloads.
