Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 with the required scope (contacts.readonly) to access contact data securely.
Authorize Mailbox Power to access Contacts API with a token that carries the same scope and permissions.
Typical endpoints include: GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a single contact, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks for tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes for notes, and POST /contacts/ to create new contacts, plus updates via PUT and DELETE where needed.
When a new contact is added in Contacts API, automatically create a corresponding contact in Mailbox Power.
Populate core fields (name, email) and link to related tasks and notes for a complete profile.
GET /contacts/:contactId
id, email, fullName
Whenever a contact’s data changes in Contacts API, update corresponding tasks in Mailbox Power to reflect the new state.
Update task statuses, due dates, and related notes in Mailbox Power to keep records aligned.
PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
contactId, taskId, status
When a contact is deleted in Contacts API, remove or archive related Mailbox Power items.
DELETE /contacts/:contactId
contactId
Automates routine contact management without writing any code, saving time and reducing manual work.
Provides real-time data sync between Contacts API and Mailbox Power so records stay consistent across platforms.
Operates securely with OAuth-based authentication and granular scopes to control access.
This glossary defines core concepts like endpoints, triggers, actions, fields, and payloads used in this integration between Contacts API and Mailbox Power.
A URL path used to access a specific resource in an API.
The process of verifying identity to grant access to resources.
An event that starts an automated workflow.
The data sent to or returned from an API in requests.
Automatically tag contacts in Mailbox Power when certain actions occur in Contacts API to improve segmentation.
Sync notes between Contacts API and Mailbox Power so updates appear in both systems.
Automatically archive or remove stale contacts and tasks to keep systems clean.
Obtain an OAuth token with scope: contacts.readonly and authorize Mailbox Power to access Contacts API.
Add key endpoints such as GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to your workflow.
Run end-to-end tests to ensure triggers fire accurately and data maps correctly.
You’ll need an OAuth token with the scope, typically contacts.readonly, to read contact data. The integration may require additional scopes if you plan to write or modify records. In production, follow best practices for secure storage of tokens and minimal permissions.
Common endpoints for Mailbox Power workflows include GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a single contact, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks for associated tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes for notes, and GET /contacts/ to list contacts. For writes, use POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, and DELETE /contacts/:contactId with appropriate scopes.
Yes. Use a sandbox or test environment to validate triggers and data mappings without affecting live data. Create test contacts and tasks to simulate real-world flows. Review results in a controlled setting before going live.
A no-code option exists via the integration builder for GUI-driven triggers and actions. For more advanced logic, you can extend with custom steps or Webhooks as needed.
Typical fields include contactId, name, email, and related task/note IDs. You can map custom fields as required. Ensure a unique key field is used to avoid duplicates across syncs.
Token expiration is managed with refresh tokens; store secrets securely and implement automatic token refresh. Monitor for 401 errors and re-authenticate as needed to maintain smooth operation.
Rate limits depend on your API plan; consult the provider’s documentation for exact thresholds. To avoid throttling, batch requests when possible and design idempotent operations with robust retry logic.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
