Bowimi authenticates against the Contacts API using the required credentials. Use the scope contacts.readonly to read data; you can enable additional permissions if needed.
Follow these steps to authenticate Bowimi with the Contacts API: obtain your client_id and client_secret, configure OAuth or API keys as supported, and grant Bowimi the appropriate scope for your use case.
GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a single contact by ID; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — List tasks for a contact; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Retrieve a specific task; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes — List notes for a contact; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — Retrieve a specific note; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — List appointments for a contact; GET /contacts/ — List all contacts; GET /contacts/business/:businessId — List contacts for a business; POST /contacts/ — Create a new contact; PUT /contacts/:contactId — Update a contact; DELETE /contacts/:contactId — Delete a contact; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks — Create a new task for a contact; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Update a task; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed — Mark a task as completed; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Delete a task; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags — Add tags to a contact.
Trigger: Bowimi requests a contact by ID to fetch core details.
Actions: retrieve contact details, then pull related tasks, notes, and appointments as needed.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: id, firstName, lastName, email, phone, lastActivity
Trigger: When viewing a contact, Bowimi loads related tasks.
Actions: list, create, update, and mark tasks as completed.
Paths: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
Fields: id, title, status, dueDate, priority
Trigger: Bowimi fetches notes for a contact as needed.
Actions: retrieve notes; drill into individual notes to show content and date.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id
Fields: id, note, dateCreated, author
Connect Bowimi to Contacts data without writing code using prebuilt endpoints for rapid automation.
Data sync and automation across tasks, notes, and contact details between Bowimi and your other apps.
Faster setup with clear endpoint mappings and consistent data models.
Core concepts and processes used in the Bowimi–Contacts API integration.
An Application Programming Interface that Bowimi uses to read and write data via the Contacts API.
The method Bowimi uses to prove identity and gain access to the API (OAuth, API keys, tokens).
A specific URL path exposed by the API that Bowimi can call to perform actions or fetch data.
A mechanism for the API to push real-time data to Bowimi when events occur.
Use the endpoints to pull new contacts into Bowimi and create corresponding CRM records automatically.
Automatically generate follow-up tasks when contact activity occurs, ensuring timely engagement.
Aggregate notes to create a searchable insights dashboard within Bowimi for quick context.
Register the Bowimi app in your GHL developer portal and obtain client_id and client_secret.
Set the scope to contacts.readonly (or more if needed) and map required endpoints in Bowimi.
Run tests to verify data flow, then deploy to production and monitor API usage.
Bowimi connections use TLS encryption for all data in transit and store data securely. Access is limited to the configured scope (contacts.readonly by default), and tokens can be rotated regularly. If you enable broader access, ensure you follow least-privilege principles and monitor activity with audit logs. Regular security reviews are recommended to maintain a strong security posture.
By default Bowimi interacts with core endpoints such as GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to fetch related data. You can extend usage to create or update records if your permissions allow, but always verify your application scope and ensure you stay within your plan limits.
No heavy coding is required thanks to Bowimi’s guided setup and UI for configuring API connections. Some familiarity with OAuth, API keys, and endpoint mapping helps, but you can complete most configurations using step-by-step prompts and in-app helpers.
Yes. You can tailor which fields are synced, map contact properties to Bowimi fields, and choose which endpoints are active. This helps reduce data transfer and keeps Bowimi aligned with your data model.
Updates can be real-time via webhooks if supported, or near-real-time through periodic polling. The exact timing depends on endpoint configuration and any webhook features provided by the API.
You can review API usage, quota, and latency metrics in your Bowimi dashboard and the connected app’s analytics. If you exceed limits, consider requesting higher quotas or adjusting the polling frequency.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
