Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Contacts API scope used for Disco?

The Contacts API scope used by Disco allows Disco to access read only contact data to synchronize your CRM. This keeps your contact records up to date. You can request additional scopes if you need write access later. Always follow the principle of least privilege and only enable what you need. Once configured, Disco can fetch contact data, tasks, notes, and appointments in near real time. This enables consistent customer histories across systems. The initial setup includes OAuth 2.0 credentials and field mapping to ensure data aligns correctly.

No heavy coding is required. Disco provides a no-code integration interface that uses standard OAuth 2.0 authentication and predefined endpoints. You configure the connection, map fields, and set up triggers for when data should sync. For advanced scenarios, you can extend the flow with minimal code or use the built-in automation tools to customize behavior.

Essential endpoints typically include GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a contact, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes for related data. For write-friendly flows you may also use POST /contacts/ to create a contact and PUT /contacts/:contactId to update. The exact set depends on your use case and data requirements.

Field mapping is done in the Disco connection settings. You map GHL fields such as contactId, name, email, and phone to Disco fields. You can also map nested data like tasks and notes to corresponding sections in Disco. Test the mappings using a sample contact to verify accuracy before going live.

Security is handled via OAuth 2.0 with token-based authentication. Tokens are securely stored and refreshed as needed. Always use HTTPS endpoints and follow best practices for secret management. You can revoke tokens if you detect any unauthorized access.

Yes, Disco can write to GHL using appropriate write scopes such as contacts.write. This enables creating, updating, or deleting contacts from Disco. Ensure you request the necessary permissions and implement error handling for write operations.

You can find endpoints in the GHL developer documentation or within the Disco connection setup screen where endpoints are listed. Use the endpoint list section to reference the exact routes and methods supported for your integration.
