Access to the Contacts API requires a valid API key and OAuth token. Include the key in headers as X-Api-Key and attach the OAuth bearer token for protected endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/.
Schedule It uses a secure OAuth 2.0 flow with a service account option to authorize with the Contacts API. Configure client credentials in your Schedule It dashboard and grant the minimum required scopes.
Key endpoints include: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, and more. This section highlights the endpoints most commonly used to connect contacts with scheduling actions.
Trigger: a new contact is created in Schedule It or updated in the Contacts API.
Actions: create or update the contact in the other system; create initial appointment suggestion via POST /contacts/ and update via PUT /contacts/:contactId; verify with GET /contacts/:contactId.
POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId
id, name, email, phone, status, last_modified
Trigger: when a contact field changes (e.g., status, last contacted) in Contacts API or Schedule It triggers a milestone in the calendar.
Actions: update appointment notes or create new appointments; sync tags.
GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
appointmentId, contactId, date, time, notes
Trigger: Schedule It creates an appointment or reminder for a contact, triggering a corresponding task in the Contacts API.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create a follow-up task; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to mark complete.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
taskId, contactId, dueDate, status, priority

Schedule It is a no-code automation platform designed to work with the Contacts API to streamline scheduling and contact management. It helps you connect data without writing code. You can build workflows that create, update, and schedule activities across systems. In most setups, you can complete the integration in a matter of minutes using templates and drag-and-drop builders.
You can set up many integrations with no code via templates and drag-and-drop builders. If you need more control, light scripting is possible, but the core flows run without code. The goal is to empower non-developers to deploy reliable automation fast.
The most commonly used endpoints are those for managing contacts, appointments, notes, and tasks: GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments, and PUT /contacts/:contactId. These enable syncing contact data with scheduling activity efficiently.
OAuth 2.0 tokens grant access to user data securely. Access tokens are short-lived and refresh tokens can be used to obtain new access tokens without re-authentication. In production, Schedule It manages token refresh automatically for a seamless experience.
Yes. You can customize mappings between contact fields (name, email, phone, status) and scheduling fields (appointment date, reminder notes, task priority). The UI lets you align data elements to your business workflow without code.
If you encounter errors, start with token validity, endpoint permissions, and scope checks. Our logs show request and response data to help you diagnose. You can also reach support for guided troubleshooting.
Yes. Many no-code templates cover onboarding, reminders, follow-ups, and lifecycle events. For advanced needs, you can extend templates with light customization while keeping the core automation no-code.
