Access to Contacts API from GoHire uses a scoped API key with read-only permissions (scope: contacts.readonly). Store credentials securely and rotate them regularly.
In GoHire, connect using an API key or OAuth token provided by your GoHire account. The connector will pass the token in the Authorization header of each request.
– 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

Run tests, verify logs, and switch to production.
The integration uses a scoped API key with the contacts.readonly scope to ensure read access by default. If write access is required, pair the connector with an appropriate permission set and rotate keys regularly. Always store credentials securely and avoid embedding them in client-side code. In production, monitor activity via the GoHire connector dashboard and set alerts for unusual API activity to protect data integrity.
From GoHire, configure OAuth or API key-based authentication and include the token in the Authorization header of every request to the Contacts API. Use secure storage for credentials and enable automatic rotation where supported. Test the authentication flow in a staging environment before going live.
Start with core read endpoints to pull contact records: GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks. These establish how data moves between systems. Once you confirm the read flow, add write endpoints like POST /contacts/ and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to enable creation and updates.
Yes, GoHire can write to the Contacts API when properly authenticated and authorized. Use endpoints such as POST /contacts/ and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create new contacts and tasks. Ensure your API key has appropriate permissions and implement error handling for failed writes.
Rate limits depend on your plan and the API tier. Plan for burst usage during sync windows and implement exponential backoff retries for 429 responses. If your workload grows, consider requesting higher quotas or batching requests where feasible.
Map fields by aligning source fields in GoHire with destination fields in the Contacts API (e.g., name, email, phone, notes). Use field mappings in the connector settings and validate through test runs. Keep a data dictionary to avoid drift over time.
View logs in the GoHire connector dashboard or your API gateway logs. If issues arise, check authentication status, endpoint permissions, and field mappings. Use test events to reproduce problems and adjust mappings or scopes accordingly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
