Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need coding to connect Jotform Enterprise to the Contacts API?

No coding is required to connect Jotform Enterprise to the Contacts API. The integration uses standard HTTP endpoints and a visual workflow to map fields and automate actions. If you need deeper customization, Rankr provides templates and guidance to tailor the setup without writing code. For developers, API keys and optional webhooks are available to extend the flow.

Permissions should follow the principle of least privilege. Use read-only for data fetches and grant write permissions only where you need to create or update contacts, tasks, or notes. Revoke access when the connection is no longer needed and rotate keys regularly.

Field mapping is done in the integration settings. Map essential Jotform fields such as email, name, and submission ID to the corresponding GHL Contacts fields. Use transformation rules to normalize data formats (for example, phone numbers) before syncing.

Yes. The endpoints support notes and attachments syncing. Ensure attachments are included in the payload and stored according to your data retention policies. Validate attachment size limits and permissions.

Common authentication errors include invalid API keys, expired credentials, or insufficient scopes. Verify keys, reauthorize the connection, and ensure the app has the required permissions. Check the docs for endpoint-specific requirements.

Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and usage. Plan for retries with exponential backoff and monitor API usage in the dashboard. If you hit a limit, optimize calls or apply batching where possible.

Use the test logs, status codes, and webhook events to monitor data flow. Set up alerts for failures and use the integration dashboard in Rankr to track sync health and performance.
