Close.io API & Ruby

Last week, I signed up for close.io for my CRM. Their backend & examples are written in Python, so I wrote a web2lead app hooking in their API using Sinatra, HTTParty, and Slim.

I bashed my head in for a day, until I realized I needed a trailing slash on Lead.post(‘/api/v1/lead/ - ugh.

Hopefully, some of you can use this. Close.io has been a good service, and their customer service is very responsive. Waiting for Contactually to hook into Close.io!

Ruby 2.0pre0 and YOLO

The wonders of being the first to upgrade means I got to file my first bug!  Long story short, the OpenSSL cert needed to be renamed cert.pem in the OpenSSL directory.  The solution was patched same day, so how’s that for service?

The next big issue is that debugger and pry-debugger are broken… I’m left with console.log until this is fixed!
