Begin by obtaining an access token with the required scope: contacts.readonly. Store credentials securely and rotate them regularly.
Link Acumbamail to GHL using OAuth or an API key, grant the necessary permissions, and test the connection with a sample request.
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 new or updated contact in Acumbamail initiates a fetch to GET /contacts/:contactId and updates the corresponding GHL contact.
Actions: create or update contact in GHL, attach tasks, and log notes via GET/PUT endpoints.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, email, name
Trigger: changes in a GHL contact update Acumbamail via PUT /contacts/:contactId
Actions: sync updated fields, refresh notes and tasks; ensure data consistency.
PUT /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, phone
Trigger: a new event in GHL creates a task via POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Actions: create tasks, set due dates, and log task status.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskId, title, dueDate
Automate data flow without writing code, reducing manual data entry.
Keep contact data in sync across platforms for better segmentation and campaigns.
Accelerate onboarding and activation with ready-to-use automation templates.
This glossary covers the core elements: API endpoints, authentication, data fields, and workflow processes used when connecting GHL Contacts API with Acumbamail.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action against the GHL Contacts API (e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId).
An authorization framework used to securely grant access tokens to apps without sharing passwords.
An individual record in your Contacts API, representing a person with fields like name, email, and phone.
An action item linked to a contact, such as a reminder or to-do in the system.
Automatically push new subscribers from Acumbamail into GHL Contacts to trigger campaigns.
Sync profile updates, tags, and notes to keep lists aligned.
Create tasks in Acumbamail when GHL events occur to drive follow-ups.
Set up your GHL API access and authorize the Acumbamail app to read contact data.
Choose the scope (e.g., contacts.readonly) and generate tokens or API keys for secure calls.
Run test requests, verify data sync, and activate automation templates for production.
The Contacts API lets you fetch and manage contact data using endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId. This enables syncs between Acumbamail and GHL to keep records up to date. The integration supports automated workflows that respond to contact changes and task events.
Authentication can be done with OAuth 2.0 or API keys. Use the scope ‘contacts.readonly’ for read access, and securely store tokens. Rotate credentials regularly and follow best practices for token management.
Useful endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks for syncing contacts and tasks. Additional endpoints help read notes, appointments, and update records as needed for a complete sync.
Yes, you can update records in GHL from Acumbamail by using PUT /contacts/:contactId. Conversely, you can push changes from GHL to Acumbamail using the appropriate write endpoints and task actions.
Rate limits vary by plan and endpoint. Implement exponential backoff and retries, and batch requests when possible to minimize calls and preserve quota.
No heavy coding is required if you use no-code automation tools. For advanced workflows, light scripting or webhooks can enhance precision and reliability.
To set up automation templates, start with a trigger on new contact or task events, map fields between Acumbamail and GHL, and test thoroughly before going live.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
