Frequently Asked Questions

Is coding required to set up Appointy with the Contacts API?

Coding is not required for a basic setup. The Appointy to Contacts API connection supports no code configurations and automation. Advanced cases may involve custom scripts, but the standard workflow relies on API endpoints and data mappings provided in the UI. This makes it accessible to non developers while still powerful for complex needs. You can start with read only access and expand if you need write capabilities.

The available endpoints include a range of read and write operations such as GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, and more. Use the subset you need and map fields accordingly to Appointy data structures.

Secure authentication is achieved via GHL API keys or OAuth credentials. Ensure scopes match your needs (for example, contacts.readonly for viewing data). Rotate credentials regularly and use encrypted storage. Monitor token expiry and implement automatic refresh where supported.

Yes. You can sync contacts along with their tasks, notes, and appointments. This creates a cohesive record for each contact across both systems. Plan your mappings to ensure tasks and notes align with the corresponding contact records.

Respect API rate limits by designing efficient queries and using exponential backoff on errors. Implement retries for transient failures and log all incidents for audit and debugging. Most integrations stay within typical rate limits with sensible batching.

Field mapping is done in the integration settings. You will map core fields such as id, name, email, and phone, plus related data like tasks and notes. Maintain consistent data types and formats to avoid mismatches during sync.
