Updating Rails 5 Initializer with Devise User Parameters - ruby-on-rails

Question

I thought I was getting closer to wrapping my head around Rails until this challenge. I have an initializer agilecrm.rb - content show below. I am using AgileCRM Ruby code to try and connect my app with AgileCRM system. When using the code below, with the test Create Contact array at the bottom, it successfully creates a contact in my AgileCRM account, so I know at least this part works. What I need to do is create a new AgileCRM user every time I create a new Devise user. I have a feeling that I am looking at this the wrong way and probably need a controller for this, but this is not completely foreign to me, but I still can't figure out when way to go. Thank you.
config/initializers/agilecrm.rb
require 'net/http'
require 'uri'
require 'json'
class AgileCRM
class << self
def api_key=(key)
##api_key = key
end
def domain=(d)
##domain = d
end
def email=(email)
##email = email
end
def api_key
##api_key
end
def domain
##domain
end
def email
##email
end
def request(method, subject, data = {})
path = "/dev/api/#{subject}"
case method
when :get
request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(path)
when :post
request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(path)
request.body = data.to_json
when :put
request = Net::HTTP::Put.new(path)
request.body = data.to_json
when :delete
request = Net::HTTP::Delete.new(path)
else
raise "Unknown method: #{method}"
end
uri = URI.parse("https://#{domain}.agilecrm.com")
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
http.use_ssl = true
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
request['Content-Type'] = 'application/json'
request['Accept'] = 'application/json'
request.basic_auth AgileCRM.email, AgileCRM.api_key
response = http.request(request)
response.body
end
end
end
AgileCRM.api_key = '*******'
AgileCRM.domain = '*******'
AgileCRM.email = '*******'
# ======================Create Contact====================================
contact_data = '{
"star_value": "4",
"lead_score": "92",
"tags": [
"Lead",
"Likely Buyer"
],
"properties": [
{
"type": "SYSTEM",
"name": "first_name",
"value": "John"
}
]
}'
parsed_contact_data = JSON.parse(contact_data)
print(AgileCRM.request :post, 'contacts', parsed_contact_data)

You might want to move this logic into your User model, and have a after_save hook to push data to agilecrm. Assuming that the Devise user model is called User :
class User < ApplicationRecord
...
after_save :sync_to_agilecrm
def sync_to_agilecrm
# your agilecrm api calls go here
...
end
end
The above should do what you are trying to achieve.
