FAQ

What authentication method is used to connect Plezi Plus and Star with the Contacts API?

OAuth 2.0 with the Contacts API scope (contacts.readonly) is used to authorize Plezi Plus and Star to access your contact data without exposing credentials. After you grant access, Plezi receives access and refresh tokens to maintain the connection. Store tokens securely, refresh before expiry, and use the access token in each API call by adding an Authorization: Bearer token header. If the user revokes access, Plezi should gracefully disconnect and prompt for re-authentication.

The core endpoints you’ll leverage include retrieving a contact by ID and listing a contact’s tasks and notes, as well as creating and updating contacts. This suite supports the most common workflows: person, tasks, and notes data flows. You can also fetch the full contact list and related data as needed to sync records and trigger automations inside Plezi Plus and Star. Always respect the contacts.readonly scope and avoid write operations unless you have the proper permissions.

Expected data exchanged includes contact identifiers, names, emails, task status, notes content, and timestamps. Mapping ensures Plezi fields align with GHL’s fields, preserving data integrity across platforms. Carefully define field mappings to minimize duplicates and ensure consistent insights across Plezi and GHL histories.

No-code options are available for typical setups; you can use Zapier App Connector or the built-in integration builder to map endpoints and automate flows. If you need custom logic, you can add lightweight automation in Plezi Plus and Star to call endpoints and handle responses without writing server code.

Test by issuing sample API calls from the Plezi interface or using a REST client to verify responses. Check that data sync occurs correctly, update statuses, and ensure no errors appear in the logs or in Plezi task states.

Rate limits vary by GHL plan and endpoint; typical usage remains well under limits for most automations. Monitor usage and plan for peak periods accordingly. If you hit limits, implement exponential backoff and batch requests where possible; consider upgrading for higher quotas or optimizing call frequency.

The endpoint list is available in this guide and in your developer docs; it enumerates the supported API calls. Review the ENDPOINTLIST section for exact paths and methods. Use the documented paths like GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to plan your automations.
