Use OAuth 2.0 to securely authorize requests to the Contacts API from Action Network via GHL. Obtain client credentials, grant permissions, and test endpoints safely.
Provide Action Network credentials to authorize data access, configure scopes, and ensure only the required read/write access is granted for smooth syncing with the GHL integration.
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 when a new contact is created in Action Network to upsert the corresponding contact in GHL.
Actions: upsert contact in GHL, map core fields, and optionally apply tags.
Method path: POST /contacts/ to create or PUT /contacts/:contactId to update existing records.
Key fields: id, email, name, external_id
Trigger when a new or updated Action Network task appears to create or update a matching GHL task.
Actions: create or update tasks in GHL, sync status and due dates.
Method path: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to update.
Key fields: taskId, contactId, taskTitle, dueDate
Trigger: new notes or tags added in Action Network update the corresponding contact in GHL.
Actions: post notes to /contacts/:contactId/notes and add tags via /contacts/:contactId/tags.
Method path: POST /contacts/:contactId/notes; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Key fields: contactId, noteId, tagId
Fast setup with drag-and-drop builders and prebuilt actions between Action Network and GHL.
Real-time data sync and consistent contact records across platforms.
Low maintenance with automated error handling and retries.
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, data mapping, rate limits, and error handling. Processes cover upserts, task syncing, and note/tag propagation.
A person or organization saved in your Contacts API and Action Network with identifying fields like name, email, and id.
An event that starts a workflow in the integration, such as a new contact or updated task.
A URL path that performs an action (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) on the API.
An authorization framework used to securely access APIs without sharing passwords.
Automatically create or update contacts in GHL when Action Network records are created or updated, keeping your databases in sync.
Attach Action Network notes to GHL contacts and populate notes with useful metadata.
Apply and synchronize tags based on lists or groups from Action Network for precise segmentation in GHL.
In GHL, register an OAuth client and note the client ID and secret; in Action Network, create an app and obtain its credentials.
Use test requests to endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId to verify data mapping.
Configure workflows, retries, and alerting to keep data healthy.
You’ll need read permission to access contacts. For creating or updating contacts, you’ll typically require write permission on the relevant endpoints. Ensure your OAuth scope includes the necessary access. Make sure your OAuth scopes are configured to include the required access and that the actions your app performs comply with rate limits.
Yes, you can read and write depending on the scopes granted. If you only need read access for oversight, configure read-only scopes. With appropriate scopes, you can both read and write. Use the POST, PUT, and DELETE endpoints carefully to avoid data loss.
Map fields like name, email, and external_id from Action Network to the Contacts API fields in GHL. Use field mapping in the connector to ensure data aligns. Consider creating a translation table for custom fields if Action Network uses different names.
Updates flow through the API endpoints; deletes may be mirrored or quarantined depending on your setup. Implement webhooks or polling to catch changes.
No coding required if you use a visual builder or prebuilt connectors. Some basic configuration is still needed. For advanced mappings, a bit of scripting or field mapping rules may help.
The integration supports retries and exponential backoff. Monitor retry counts and adjust limits if needed. Log errors and set alerting.
Error logs appear in the connector dashboard and in the application logs. Use test mode to run sample calls. You can also enable notifications for failures.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
