EspoCRM Overview#

The EspoCRM API allows for robust interaction with your CRM data, enabling the automation of tasks, syncing data across platforms, and the enhancement of customer relationship management through customized workflows. By leveraging this API within Pipedream, you can design serverless workflows that react to CRM events, integrate with other services, and manipulate data to fit your business processes. Pipedream's no-code platform makes it straightforward to create, execute, and maintain these workflows, allowing you to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure.

The Google Contacts API allows you to integrate your contact data with custom applications, enabling you to sync, manage, and leverage your contact list for a variety of functions. Through Pipedream, you can seamlessly connect the Google Contacts API to various other services, streamlining contact management tasks such as syncing contact details across platforms, automating outreach or follow-ups, and gathering insights from contact interactions.

Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Google Contacts API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
