Requests to the Contacts API are authenticated with your API credentials. Use your API key, keep it secure, and apply the correct scope (for example, contacts.readonly or contacts.write) for each operation.
Integrations from SamCart authenticate via OAuth or API keys depending on your setup. Store tokens securely, rotate credentials regularly, and restrict permissions to the minimum needed.

The Contacts API provides programmatic access to your contact data, enabling you to create, read, update, and delete contacts as needed. In this SamCart integration, you can push new customers into the Contacts API and keep core fields synchronized for a clean CRM view. Utilize the available endpoints to read contact details, attach notes and tasks, and ensure that your marketing and support teams have up-to-date information.
No-code setup is possible with pre-built triggers and actions for SamCart. You can connect via a no-code integration platform or use the Zapier App Connector. However, having a basic understanding of field mappings and endpoints will help you tailor the flow to your data model.
At minimum, an email is typically required to uniquely identify a contact. First name and last name are recommended for a complete profile; phone is optional depending on your workflow. The API may enforce stricter validation depending on your account configuration.
Yes. You can update existing contacts via PUT /contacts/:contactId. Notes and tasks can be updated via their respective endpoints as well. Use idempotent requests and proper error handling to avoid duplicates.
Implement retry logic with exponential backoff and inspect API response codes. Use idempotent POST/PUT requests where possible and log failures for quick triage.
Usage quotas and rate limits vary by plan. If you approach or exceed limits, you may receive 429 responses. Plan batch updates and throttle requests to stay within quotas.
Test in a staging environment with representative sample data. Validate all mappings, then monitor logs and set up alerts before going live to ensure a smooth rollout.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
