Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need write permissions to use the endpoints?

No write permissions are required to read data from the Contacts API when using Ezekia. The scopes you request should be limited to read-only access for safety and compliance. If your workflow ever needs to create or update records, you would request additional scopes and adjust the integration accordingly. If you plan to create or modify contacts, tasks, or notes, ensure your OAuth app is granted the appropriate write scopes and your Ezekia configuration reflects those permissions.

Ezekia can read core contact fields such as name, email, phone, and identifiers, plus related data like tasks, notes, and appointments associated with a contact. The exact fields returned depend on your authorization and the scopes granted to the app.

Requests from Ezekia are authenticated using OAuth 2.0 tokens. Your app will obtain an access token via the standard client credentials flow and present it on API calls. Keep tokens secure, refresh before expiry, and rotate credentials regularly.

Yes. You can fetch notes and tasks for a contact using GET endpoints such as /contacts/:contactId/notes and /contacts/:contactId/tasks. These read-only endpoints return the relevant data for display in Ezekia workflows.

Rate limits vary by plan and endpoint. If you hit limits, implement backoff strategies and caching where appropriate, and consider batching requests. Contact support for higher quotas if needed.

If mapping is off or fields are missing, review the API response and map fields explicitly in Ezekia. You can enable field-level mapping, fallback defaults, and validation rules to maintain data quality.

To disconnect, revoke the OAuth token, remove the integration in Ezekia, and test that the app no longer returns data. You may also rotate credentials and notify users of the disconnection.
