Frequently Asked Questions

What data can I access with the Contacts API?

The Contacts API lets you read and manage contact data, including core fields like name, email, phone, and status. It also exposes related resources like tasks and notes to give you a complete picture of each contact. Use these endpoints to synchronize data with Optmyzr campaigns and workflows. In production, apply least privilege access and protect tokens to reduce risk.

Yes—depending on your use case, you may need write access to create or update tasks, notes, or contacts. Start with read-only access to explore the data model, then request additional scopes for write operations. Always validate changes in a staging environment first. Remember to handle permissions and audit trails to maintain data integrity.

OAuth 2.0 is used for secure authentication. Exchange a client credential or authorization code for access tokens and refresh tokens. Rotate tokens before expiry and store them securely in your vault. Re-authenticate as needed when permissions change. Document token scopes precisely to avoid over- or under-permissioning your integration.

Rate limits prevent abuse and ensure stability. Plan retries with exponential backoff and cache non-changing responses where possible. If you hit a limit, wait briefly and retry, and consider staggering requests across steps in your workflow. For heavy usage, contact support to discuss higher limits or app-specific quotas.

Field mapping is achieved through your integration layer or Zapier App Connector. Align GHL contact fields (name, email, phone) with Optmyzr fields and define rules for when to push updates. Validate mappings with sample contacts to ensure data integrity. Keep a changelog of mapping changes and test edge cases like nulls and duplicates.

Yes. You can create new contacts via POST /contacts/ and update existing ones with PUT /contacts/:contactId. Be mindful of required fields and validation rules. After creation, sync IDs back to Optmyzr so subsequent updates stay aligned. Use idempotent requests where possible to prevent duplicate records.

Endpoint references and examples are available in the API docs and this page. Start with GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a single contact, then explore tasks and notes endpoints to extend your integration. If you need help, contact support or your account representative for guidance. Keep a sample dataset handy for testing your mapping rules.
