How to Connect Contacts API to Go1

Go1 and the Contacts API: Seamless data access for contacts, tasks, notes, and more.

How the Contacts API connects with Go1

This guide explains how to authenticate and use the Go1 Contacts API, covering endpoints for contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments so you can build powerful automations in your app.

Authentication for Contacts API

Authorization is required to call the Go1 Contacts API. Obtain an OAuth 2.0 access token with the scope ‘contacts.readonly’ for read operations, and add the token to the Authorization header of each request.

Authentication for Go1 App

Ensure your Go1 application is securely configured to request and store access tokens. Include the Bearer token in all API requests to prove identity and permissions.

Core Endpoints Overview

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

Top 3 Connections for Go1 Contacts API

1) Read a Contact with Tasks and Notes

When your app needs a full view of a single contact and its related data.

GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes

GET /contacts/:contactId

contactId

3) Update Task Status for a Contact

When a task is completed or its status changes in your app.

PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId

PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed

contactId, taskId, completed

No-code Benefits with Go1 Contacts API

Accelerate integrations with minimal coding. Use visual builders or automation tools to connect your Go1 data to thousands of apps.

Automate workflows around contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments without writing server-side code, saving time and reducing errors.

Scale your operations by reusing endpoint logic across multiple apps and use cases.

Key Terms and Glossary

Creative ideas for integrating Contacts API with Go1

Idea 1: Workflow templates

Create reusable templates that fetch contact data and run tasks automatically across apps.

Idea 2: Event-driven updates

Trigger workflows when a contact’s tasks change status to keep systems in sync.

Idea 3: Data enrichment

Enrich contact records with notes from meetings, calls, and supports interactions.

Three Simple Steps to Connect Go1 Contacts API

Step 1: Provision access

Register your app in Go1, obtain OAuth credentials, and request access to the Contacts API with the ideal scope.

Step 2: Authenticate and test

Implement token handling, make test calls to endpoints, and verify permissions (readonly vs write) before going live.

Step 3: Build and monitor

Create automated flows, monitor usage, and handle errors with retries and logging.

Frequently Asked Questions

What endpoints are available in the Contacts API for Go1?

The Contacts API exposes endpoints for retrieving and managing contacts, their tasks, notes, appointments, and related business data. Core endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, among others. See the endpoint list for details. Tip: Start with a simple GET to verify connectivity and permissions before building complex workflows.

Authentication uses OAuth 2.0. Obtain an access token with the proper scope (e.g., contacts.readonly for read operations). Include the token in the Authorization header as Bearer for each request. If your app requires write access, request the appropriate scopes and handle token refresh securely.

Read operations typically require the contacts.readonly scope. Write operations need additional scopes and a valid token with write permissions. Always follow least-privilege principles and review endpoint permissions in your app’s OAuth configuration. Use tokens with expiry awareness and refresh before expiry to avoid failed requests.

Use test environments or sandbox endpoints when available. Validate responses with sample data, and simulate error codes to ensure your app handles retries and backoff properly. Document all test scenarios to maintain a clear deployment plan.

Yes. The API enforces rate limits to protect resources. If you exceed limits, you will receive 429 responses and should implement exponential backoff and retries. Consult the Go1 developer docs for current quotas and best practices.

Yes. Nested resources like tasks and notes are available under a contact. Use endpoints such as GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to fetch related data. Ensure proper permissions and consider batching responses where possible to minimize calls.

Yes. Official documentation and developer guides provide examples, SDKs, and best practices. Start there and adapt examples to your app’s data model and security requirements. If you need more examples, consider building a small sample integration to validate your workflow.
