HI,
I want to exchange contact data between Dolibarr and and e-mail automation software, FluentCRM (in Wordpress). I understand this can be done using REST API’s. I just cannot find which API url to use to fetch contacts data from Dolibarr to send them to FluentCRM and vice versa. Can anyone provide with some instruction how to go about this? The Dolibarr wiki is not clear to me.
Many thanks in advance!
inside dolibarr, click Tools in the top menu, then “API explorer” in the left menu.
You’ll see a link similar to this:
https://dolibarr.example.com/api/index.php/explorer/
you need an API key, which you can find here:
top menu Home, “Users&groups” in the left side menu", " List of users"
Then find your user and perhaps you have to generate an API key for your user. Maybe you have to click modify for your user and click the generate icon for the API key.
REMEMBER to protect your API with additional authentication. and DEFINIATELY USE ENCRYPTION!
Thank you for the explanation, Jon.
I managed to find everything. However, I am still struggling how to use the API url / webhooks to synchronise data in FluentCRM with data in Dolibarr contacts. Could you help me with information about how to draw contact data from FluentCRM into Dolibarr? It seems the Dolibarr module webhooks can only provide data to an external application.
Many thanks in advance,
Bart
I do not use FluentCRM, but maybe FluentCRM has some webhooks that can push data the other way?
Maybe look into N8N to help move some data between them?
Hi Jon,
I can create an outgoing webhook in FluentCRM. I just don’t know how to use that in Dolibarr without using code. Is there such an option?
Best regards,
Bart
You need some code somewhere. Maybe someone already made a module in either Dolibarr and/or FluentCRM then perhaps they can be linked. Else Look at N8N https://n8n.io/ or - find a coder to use the API to make something happen.
