Frequently Asked Questions

What can I read with the Contacts API?

With the Contacts API you can read contact records, their tasks, notes, and appointments. You can fetch a single contact with GET /contacts/:contactId and pull related data via GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments. Access is governed by the contacts.readonly scope and your token permissions, so no write actions are available in this mode. Use triggers to pull fresh data into Hubly as needed.

No code is required to connect Hubly to the Contacts API. Use the Hubly UI to add a new GHL connector, paste your access token, and map fields. The built in app connector handles authentication and endpoint calls for you. If you need more complex flows, you can configure Ze est or Zapier as needed while staying within your token limits.

Currently this integration is read only due to the readonly scope. To perform writes, you would need a different scope and possibly a separate integration. Always review your org permissions before attempting data modifications. Hubly is optimized for safe data retrieval and analysis in this setup.

Authenticate by obtaining an access token with the contacts.readonly scope and configuring it in the Hubly connector settings. You may use OAuth 2.0 or an API key depending on your org. Ensure tokens are stored securely and refreshed as needed.

Supported endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments, and GET /contacts/. Additional endpoints exist for creating or updating records but require appropriate scopes. For read only use, focus on the GET routes.

Yes, the Contacts API enforces rate limits. If you hit the limit, Hubly will back off and retry after a short delay. Plan data pulls accordingly and use pagination for large lists to stay within quotas.

Test endpoints by using a staging token and the Hubly test mode to query sample data. Validate response codes, inspect returned fields, and check logs for any integration errors before going live.
