Hello Community,
I'm in the process of selecting a new CRM for a client, and a key requirement is the ability to execute a large volume of tasks using callin.io.
I've come across information that Drip utilizes a batch API, enabling the collection of 50 users in a single API call. I'm curious if this functionality is accessible through callin.io (which would be a significant advantage), or if any callin.io integration operates similarly to other software, where each action on a contact constitutes a single API call.
- Additionally, I'm seeking recommendations for a CRM that would integrate well with the following stack: [WordPress - callin.io - Airtable - WP Fusion]. We are targeting medium to large-sized companies.
P.S.: We are looking for a solution to migrate away from Keap (formerly Infusionsoft).

Welcome to the callin.io community!
This is subjective, and it depends on your use-case.
If you have both options, a batch and a single endpoint, it depends whether you need it processed immediately or the data can wait.
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Hello,
My question is: Are there scenarios where the batch API can be utilized by callin.io to send 50 contacts in a single API request? If so, what are those scenarios? Could it be a scheduled scenario or a webhook?

Webhook triggers can also be scheduled if you wish to queue incoming requests and process them collectively in the same batch.
This topic is explored in the callin.io Academy.

Hello! Imagine I've set up lists in my Drip CRM, where contacts are stacked based on the actions I intend to perform (Post, Get, Delete). Once a list reaches 50 contacts, the flow in callin.io would initiate, passing those 50 contacts in a single API call using the Batch API from Drip. How would you configure the HTTP module in callin.io to transfer the data for a specific list?

All good, thanks!
I figured out my mistake, and hopefully, this helps someone else later:
The "Authorization" header needs to be correctly encoded for Drip's API using Basic Authentication (Base64). You can use this Converter to do this.
