Frequently Asked Questions

What permissions are required to connect Brillium to Contacts API?

You’ll typically grant the integration a scope like contacts.readonly to view contact data. If you need to update or create records, use a read/write scope and secure storage for credentials. Always follow your organization’s security policy when sharing API credentials. Test in a sandbox environment before production, monitor API activity, and handle rate limits gracefully.

Yes, with a write-enabled scope, you can create and update contacts, tasks, and notes from Brillium back to the Contacts API. Be mindful of validation rules and conflict resolution when syncing data between systems. Set up change detection or webhooks if available to minimize API calls and keep data consistent.

Use the test or sandbox endpoints provided by the API and Brillium’s test data to verify responses. Validate that fields map correctly and that authentication tokens are accepted. Use sample payloads to simulate real workflows. Check the API’s response codes and logs to diagnose issues quickly.

Rate limits depend on your plan and API configuration. If you expect bursts, implement backoff strategies and batching. Brillium and the Contacts API typically offer higher quotas for business apps with approved use cases. Consider batching updates where possible to reduce call volume and avoid throttling.

Yes, data is transmitted over HTTPS with OAuth tokens or API keys. Use secure storage for credentials and rotate keys regularly. Enable IP allowlisting if supported to add an extra layer of security. Always review the API provider’s security documentation for best practices and audit trails.

Yes. You can sync notes, tasks, and appointments, depending on permissions. Use event-based triggers or scheduled syncs to keep both systems aligned. Map fields carefully to ensure data integrity across both platforms. Test edge cases like missing fields and invalid IDs to ensure resilience.
