To use the Contacts API with Breakcold, obtain your API credentials and grant the required scope (contacts.readonly). Authentication typically uses OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys, depending on your setup.
Configure Breakcold to securely store credentials, rotate tokens, and respect rate limits while accessing the Contacts API.

Automates routine CRM tasks without writing code.
Keeps contact records in sync across apps via triggers and webhooks.
Enables scalable, repeatable workflows with drag‑and‑drop automation builders.
Key elements include API endpoints, authentication, request/response payloads, data fields, and automated workflows that connect Breakcold to Contacts API.
Application Programming Interface: a set of endpoints that lets apps read and write data from the Contacts API.
Process of proving identity to gain access to the API, typically via OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys.
A specific URL path that performs an API operation, such as retrieving a contact or updating a task.
The data sent in a request body to create or update resources in the API.
Automatically create or update a contact in Breakcold when a new lead enters, pulling initial notes and assigning tasks.
Route tasks to team members based on notes, status, and appointment data to keep work flowing.
Trigger follow-up tasks whenever notes mention deadlines or upcoming meetings.
Create or retrieve your API key and set the scope to contacts.readonly for safe access.
Enter your credentials in Breakcold’s integration settings and select the endpoints you need (contacts, notes, tasks, appointments).
Use Breakcold’s built‑in test tool to verify data retrieval from the Contacts API, then start automating.
Breakcold stores and transmits API credentials using industry‑standard encryption and secure storage. Access is controlled by OAuth tokens and scoped permissions to limit what data can be read. Token rotation, audit logging, and adherence to rate limits help you monitor usage and keep data safe.
No coding is required for basic reads; Breakcold offers a no‑code setup to connect to the Contacts API and fetch data. For advanced automations, you can map endpoints to triggers and actions in your workflow.
Essential endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId for profile data and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks for tasks. For onboarding, GET /contacts/ and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes are also useful.
Yes, you can pull notes and appointments with GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments. You can combine this with tasks for a complete activity timeline.
Authentication is configured in Breakcold’s integration settings; use OAuth 2.0 where supported or a dedicated API key. Save tokens securely and refresh when needed.
Rate limits depend on your API plan; monitor headers in responses and space requests accordingly. If you hit a limit, implement backoff or stagger requests in your automation.
Common errors include invalid credentials or insufficient scope and incorrect endpoint paths. Re‑authenticate, verify your credentials and scope, double‑check the endpoint syntax, and use the test tool to validate connectivity.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
