Authenticate requests to the Contacts API by passing your GHL API token in the Authorization header. Use the scopes provided (contacts.readonly) to control access.
4Degrees uses API keys or OAuth; ensure your app has read permissions for contacts and can create or update tasks.
GET /contacts/:contactId; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments; GET /contacts/; GET /contacts/business/:businessId; POST /contacts/; PUT /contacts/:contactId; DELETE /contacts/:contactId; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Trigger: When a new or updated contact exists in 4Degrees, pull the contact data into Contacts API in GHL.
Actions: Create or update a contact in GHL; optionally create a note or tasks tied to that contact.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Required: contactId, name, email
Trigger: New or updated tasks for a contact in 4Degrees.
Actions: Create or update tasks in GHL; map fields like due date and status.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Required: contactId
Trigger: A task is marked completed in 4Degrees.
Actions: Update the corresponding task in GHL to completed status and log completion notes.
PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
Required: contactId, taskId, completed
Rapid automation without custom code: build workflows to sync data between 4Degrees and GHL in minutes.
Consistent, up-to-date data across apps: read-only access to contacts keeps your CRM current.
Flexible triggers and actions: map fields, update statuses, create tasks, and notify teams without writing code.
This glossary explains core terms and how data flows between GHL, the Contacts API, and 4Degrees during the integration.
A set of rules and endpoints that let GHL and 4Degrees talk to each other and exchange data securely.
A specific URL path in an API used to access a resource.
The process of verifying identity before granting access to data.
A real-time notification sent from one app to another when an event occurs.
When a new lead is added in 4Degrees, automatically create or update the corresponding contact in GHL and initialize related tasks.
Synchronize task progress and notes between 4Degrees and GHL to keep teams aligned.
Allow updates in GHL to flow back to 4Degrees for contact records and activity.
Obtain API credentials for both GHL and 4Degrees and confirm required scopes (read/write) are granted.
Connect both apps in Zapier, authorize, and map fields like contactId, name, email, and taskId.
Run test triggers, confirm data syncing works, then deploy and monitor for errors.
No-code setup is possible with Zapier’s app connector. You can configure triggers and actions to move data between 4Degrees and the Contacts API without writing code. If your needs grow more complex, you can add additional steps to map fields and conditionally route data. The UI guides you through this process step by step. For advanced scenarios, consider multi-step Zaps to tailor the flow, such as branching logic or delayed actions, all within a no-code environment.
Use endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a contact, and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to pull related tasks. For updates, you can use PUT /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks. Mapping these fields in Zapier lets you build a cohesive syncing workflow that keeps contacts and tasks aligned across systems. Always start with a test run to verify data mapping and field formats before going live.
Yes, read-only access is available by using scopes such as contacts.readonly. You can still trigger automations and pull data without writing to the source. If you need to write data, ensure the appropriate write scopes (e.g., contacts.write) are granted and configured in your connection. Review permissions with your admin to avoid unintended updates.
Data sync can be real-time if you use event-based triggers, or scheduled depending on your Zapier plan. Real-time triggers respond to changes as they happen, while scheduled syncs run at set intervals. Choose the approach that fits your operational cadence and reliability requirements. Monitor your Zaps for failures and set up alerts to address issues quickly.
Conflicts are resolved based on your mapping rules and the source of the latest update. To minimize conflicts, define clear ownership for each field and consider implementing a last-write-wins or priority-based rule. You can also add deduplication steps to prevent duplicate records.
Mappings are configured in the Zapier action steps. Use the mapper to align fields from 4Degrees to GHL (and vice versa) and set up conditional logic if needed. Save and test mappings to ensure data flows as intended before deployment.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
