Access to Contacts API requires a defined scope and valid credentials. Start by configuring the Contacts API with the required scope (contacts.readonly) and securing your API keys or OAuth credentials.
Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud uses API tokens. Obtain an access token via their authentication endpoint and store it securely, refreshing as needed.
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: A contact is created or updated in GHL, prompting a pull of the latest data into APPNAME.
Actions: Retrieve the contact data and update the corresponding APPNAME record to keep records in sync.
Method: GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, email, name
Trigger: New contact detected in GHL triggers a create in APPNAME.
Actions: Create or update the APPNAME contact using mapped fields from GHL.
Method: POST /contacts/
Key fields: name, email, phone, businessId
Trigger: Changes to tasks, notes, or appointments in GHL trigger updates in APPNAME.
Actions: Create or update corresponding tasks, notes, and appointments in APPNAME.
Method: PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes/:noteId; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
Key fields: contactId, taskId, noteId, appointmentId
No-code automation lets your team connect GHL and APPNAME without writing code, saving time and reducing errors.
Leveraging prebuilt endpoints and triggers accelerates deployment and iteration.
Scale automation across contacts, tasks, notes, and more with a single integration flow.
This glossary covers API endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data mapping as they relate to the GHL Contacts API and APPNAME integration.
A specific URL path that lets you access or modify data, such as GET /contacts/:contactId.
The process of proving identity and obtaining access to APIs, typically via OAuth tokens or API keys.
An event that starts an automation, such as a new or updated contact in GHL.
An operation executed in response to a trigger, like creating or updating a record in APPNAME.
Utilize POST /contacts/ to onboard new customers from GHL leads into APPNAME with minimal setup.
Sync tasks and due dates to APPNAME so teams never miss a follow-up.
Attach GHL notes to APPNAME records to preserve context and history.
Collect API keys, client IDs, and secrets from both platforms and configure in your integration tool.
Map GHL contact fields to APPNAME’s schema (name, email, phone, etc.).
Run tests, validate triggers and actions, then deploy to production.
Both OAuth 2.0 and API key-based methods can be supported, depending on what the GHL integration and APPNAME allow. Start by obtaining the necessary credentials and securely storing them in your integration tool. Make sure to scope the access to the Contacts API with contacts.readonly for read-only use, and request broader scopes if you need write permissions. In production, rotate credentials regularly and store them using secrets management.
Essential endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a single contact, POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, and GET /contacts/ to list. For related data, use GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, and GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments. These enable comprehensive synchronization and data integrity across systems. Plan for pagination, error handling, and retry strategies.
Yes. You can retrieve tasks and notes for a contact using GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes. Update operations use PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId for tasks and PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes/:noteId for notes. Align IDs across GHL and APPNAME to maintain consistent state and avoid duplicates.
Webhooks enable real-time updates if supported by both platforms. Configure webhook listeners to push changes from GHL to APPNAME, and implement idempotent handlers to avoid duplicate records. If webhooks are not available, a reliable polling approach with backoff can be used.
Yes, no-code solutions let you connect endpoints, map fields, and automate actions without writing code. Use built-in templates, visual mapping tools, and test environments to validate the flow before going live.
API rate limits vary by provider. Check response headers for remaining quota and implement appropriate backoff. When possible, batch requests and design incremental syncs to minimize hits to the API.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
