Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to code to connect Paymo and the Contacts API?

No-code setup is possible with automation platforms like Zapier or Integromat. The core steps involve granting the Contacts API the necessary scopes, configuring a trigger for new or updated contacts, and mapping fields to Paymo. After authorization, test the connection to confirm data flows correctly. If you hit a validation error, review the endpoint path and credentials.

For a basic sync, focus on retrieving and updating primary contact fields. Use GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a contact, POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, and optionally GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to pull related tasks. Ensure the required scope includes read/write permissions as needed.

Authentication typically uses OAuth 2.0 or API tokens. Start by registering your app in the GHL dashboard and obtaining client credentials, then configure Paymo to exchange tokens securely. Store tokens securely and refresh as needed. Test requests with a sandbox or staging environment before going live.

Yes. By polling or using webhooks where supported, you can reflect changes across systems. Real-time syncing depends on the provider capabilities and your plan. Build workflows that trigger updates when contacts, tasks, or notes change.

Common fields include contactId, name, email, phone, company, and notes. You can extend with custom fields as needed. Map fields carefully to ensure Paymo reflects the latest contact data.

Rates or quotas depend on your API plan. Exceeding limits may throttle requests. Plan for batching or back-off strategies and monitor usage via your provider dashboard.

Official endpoints and documentation are available in the GHL developer portal and the Paymo integration docs. Look for the Contacts API reference and sample workflows to get started.
