Use your GHL API credentials to securely access endpoints. Prefer OAuth where supported, or API keys with restricted scopes.
Store credentials securely in ABC GymSales and rotate keys regularly. Configure the integration with the defined scopes for contacts access.
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; contacts.write; 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: a request for a specific contactId from ABC GymSales
Actions: retrieve tasks, notes, and appointments for that contact
GET /contacts/:contactId
Required: contactId; optional: include fields like name, email, phone, tags
Trigger: new or updated contact in ABC GymSales
Actions: upsert into GHL via POST /contacts or PUT /contacts/:contactId
POST /contacts/ or PUT /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: name, email, phone, custom fields
Trigger: scheduled report in ABC GymSales
Actions: query multiple contacts endpoints and aggregate data
GET /contacts/
Filters: businessId, date range, and status

Run a test request to /contacts and verify data flow and error handling
The Contacts API exposes endpoints to read and fetch a specific contact, its tasks, notes, and appointments. Use GET endpoints to retrieve information and ensure that the contactId is included in the path. If your app requires more data, you can query related resources like notes and tasks for a complete view. Always respect the scoped permissions defined in your GHL API setup. This keeps your integration secure and compliant.
Authentication is handled via OAuth2 or API keys depending on your GHL setup. Use OAuth for user consent flows and API keys for service-to-service integration. Store credentials securely and rotate keys regularly. Ensure you request appropriate scopes such as contacts.readonly to access required data.
Zapier App Connector can be used to automate workflows between ABC GymSales and the GHL Contacts API without code. Create Zaps that trigger on contact updates, task changes, or new leads, and map fields between systems. This approach reduces manual data entry and speeds up member lifecycle processes.
Data can be synchronized for contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. Use standard mapping to align fields between GHL and ABC GymSales. Changes in one system can trigger updates in the other to maintain consistency across platforms.
Rate limits vary by plan and endpoint. Plan for bursts by implementing exponential backoff and caching. If you hit a limit, retry after the recommended interval and monitor usage via your API dashboard.
Field mapping is a one-to-one or many-to-one mapping between GHL and ABC GymSales fields. Define required fields such as name and email, and map custom fields as needed. Validate mappings during test runs to catch mismatches early.
When a contact is updated, GHL will reflect changes and ABC GymSales can pull the latest data. If a contact is deleted, ensure corresponding records are handled gracefully in both systems, possibly with a soft delete flag to prevent data loss.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
