Frequently Asked Questions

What data can I sync between Prefinery and the Contacts API?

You can sync core contact data such as name, email, phone, and custom fields, plus related items like tasks, notes, appointments, and tags. Map these fields to Prefinery to keep records aligned. Use endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/ to fetch data and keep Prefinery up to date.

No-code options are available via the App Connector for common use cases. For advanced mappings, you can leverage field mappings, transforms, and optional scripting in your workflow.

Authentication typically uses API keys or OAuth tokens. Generate a token from your GHL account, configure it in Prefinery, and rotate credentials securely on a schedule.

For most needs, start with GET /contacts/:contactId (single contact) and GET /contacts/ (list) alongside POST /contacts/ for creation and PUT /contacts/:contactId for updates. Optional endpoints like tasks, notes, and tags can be added as your workflow requires.

Run a test in the App Connector sandbox, verify mappings, and compare Prefinery records with source data. Check logs and error messages to adjust mappings as needed.

Updates can occur in real time or on a schedule depending on your trigger. The system handles conflicts by preferring the latest update and surfacing a conflict resolution step in your workflow.

Error logs are available in the App Connector dashboard. If issues arise, enable email alerts and review the request payloads, response codes, and any rate limit messages.
