Use the standard authentication flow for the Contacts API. This guide assumes a secure API key or OAuth token with the scope contacts.readonly. Store credentials securely and rotate keys regularly.
In Formspark, generate and store an API key for calling the Contacts API. Use the key in request headers and protect it from exposure in client side code.
GET /contacts/:contactId; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments; GET /contacts/; GET /contacts/business/:businessId; contacts.write; POST /contacts/; PUT /contacts/:contactId; DELETE /contacts/:contactId; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Trigger: Form submission in Formspark creates or updates a contact in the Contacts API.
Actions: POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, and optionally attach related data like tasks notes or tags via their endpoints.
Example method paths: POST /contacts/ for new contacts; PUT /contacts/:contactId for edits.
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone, businessId
Trigger: When a contact is updated, pull or push tasks and notes to keep records in sync.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
Example: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, taskId, noteId
Trigger: Form submission can schedule appointments or assign tags to a contact.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tags; PUT /contacts/:contactId/appointments; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Path examples: POST /contacts/:contactId/tags; PUT /contacts/:contactId/appointments
Key fields: contactId, appointmentId, tag
No code automation: build workflows without custom code
Real time data sync to keep CRM up to date
Scalable integration for growing teams
This section defines core terms and processes involved in connecting Formspark with the Contacts API, including endpoints, authentication, and data mapping.
A specific URL path and HTTP method used to perform an action on the API.
Methods used to verify identity and authorize access to the API (API keys, OAuth).
A person stored in the Contacts API with an identifier.
A URL endpoint that the API calls to notify your system of events.
Capture form submissions instantly and create or update contacts in Contacts API with associated tasks and tags.
When a new contact is created, automatically generate onboarding tasks and notes.
Schedule reminders for upcoming appointments and sync with calendar data.
Create or retrieve API keys in the Contacts API and Formspark; store securely.
Map form fields to contact fields: name, email, phone, etc.
Test end to end, then deploy the workflow and monitor.
The Formspark to Contacts API integration lets you push form submissions directly into your CRM. You can create or update contacts, attach tasks and notes, and schedule appointments as part of a single automated flow. This keeps your data synchronized without manual data entry. Use the endpoints listed to tailor the flow to your needs.
Supported endpoints include retrieving and managing contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. POST /contacts/ creates records, PUT /contacts/:contactId updates, and GET /contacts/:contactId fetches details. Combined, these endpoints enable robust no code automation from Formspark.
Authentication uses API keys or OAuth tokens with appropriate scopes. Store credentials securely and rotate them regularly. Include the token in headers and follow security best practices to protect access.
Yes. You can create new tasks and notes for a contact, as well as update existing items, all from a Formspark workflow. Use POST for creates and PUT for updates on the related endpoints.
Rate limits depend on your plan and the API. Monitor usage and implement retry logic in your Formspark flows to handle spikes gracefully.
Contacts can be deleted via the API with DELETE /contacts/:contactId. Use caution and consider soft deletes if your API supports it.
The endpoint list is shown in the Endpoint List section of this guide. It includes common operations for contacts, tasks, notes, and tags.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
