How do I integrate Act API with my application?

Apideck provides a unified CRM API that makes Act integration simple. Sign up for free, enable Act in your dashboard, and use our Vault component to let your users connect their Act accounts. We handle OAuth authentication, token refresh, and data normalization automatically.

What Act data can I access through Apideck?

Our Act integration supports 5+ data models including companies, opportunities, contacts, and users. You can perform read and write operations through our unified API, working with the same code structure across all crm platforms.

How does Act authentication work with Apideck?

Apideck's Vault handles Act authentication completely. Your users connect their Act accounts through our secure, white-label UI. We manage OAuth tokens, automatic refresh, and credential storage, so you never have to implement Act's auth flow yourself.

How do I keep my app in sync with Act?

While Act has limited native webhook support, Apideck provides polling-based sync and virtual webhooks to keep your data current. Configure your sync frequency in the dashboard, and we'll handle fetching updates from Act.

Why use Apideck instead of Act's direct API?

Using Apideck's unified API instead of Act's direct API saves significant development time. You get normalized data models, automatic auth handling, and the same integration code works with 200+ other apps. When Act updates their API, we handle the changes so your integration keeps working.
