Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need coding knowledge to integrate Flowdash with Contacts API?

You can integrate Flowdash with little or no coding by using prebuilt endpoints and webhooks. The interface is designed for no code or low code setups. For developers, you can still customize data flows with standard REST calls.

Common workflows include syncing contact records task lists and notes to Flowdash dashboards. Prefer endpoints that match your data model and use triggers to automate steps in your pipeline.

Authenticate using the token you obtain after registering Flowdash in the GHL API. Include the token in the Authorization header and respect the scope defined for each endpoint.

Yes. You can create and update contacts tasks and notes via the API using POST PUT and DELETE methods as appropriate for each resource. This enables full lifecycle management from Flowdash.

Handle errors with standard HTTP status codes and implement retries with exponential backoff. Log failures and alert teams when thresholds are reached.

Rate limits vary by endpoint and plan. Check the API docs for current limits and configure backoff strategies to avoid throttling. Monitor usage in your Flowdash account to stay within these limits.

Documentation and sample requests are available in the GHL API reference. Look for code samples and practical use cases to accelerate your integration. You can also access tutorials and example workflows.
