Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to connect Niceboard to the Contacts API?

Begin with obtaining a GHL API key or OAuth client for your Niceboard app. Store credentials securely and configure the Redirect URI for OAuth setups. Use the read endpoints to verify access to core data such as contacts, tasks, and notes. Start with a test contact to confirm data flow and then expand to related resources. In the no code environment, you can use prebuilt templates to map fields and validate results.

Start with GET /contacts/:contactId to retrieve a single contact, then explore GET /contacts/ to list all contacts. Extend to related endpoints for tasks and notes to understand relationships and data structure. Build lightweight automations first, then scale to include appointments and business data as needed.

Authentication typically uses OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys. Keep tokens secure, rotate them regularly, and implement token refresh logic. When testing, use a sandbox or staging environment to prevent unintended data changes.

No heavy coding is required if you use the no code automation features. You can connect via API keys or OAuth and leverage built-in actions to read and write contacts, tasks, and notes. For advanced workflows, light scripting or a middleware tool can help map complex fields.

Yes. You can sync tasks and notes automatically by subscribing to relevant events or polling endpoints. Ensure proper field mappings and conflict resolution rules so data stays consistent across Niceboard and the Contacts API.

API credentials are created in your GHL developer or API console. From there you can generate keys or configure OAuth clients and set allowed redirect URIs. Store these securely and monitor access permissions.

Test the integration by using sample contacts and tasks in a staging workspace. Check API responses, verify data synchronization, and review logs. Iterate on mappings and automations until the flow is reliable.
