Access to the Contacts API requires a valid OAuth 2.0 token with appropriate scopes (for example, readonly access). Retrieve credentials from the GHL developer portal and test calls with your sandbox environment before going live.
AFrame authenticates to the Contacts API using OAuth 2.0 client credentials or an API token. Store and rotate credentials securely, and configure redirect URLs and scopes to match what your automation needs.
Key endpoints include: 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 contact is viewed or updated in AFrame, fetch the latest details from the Contacts API
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId to pull data, then optionally fetch related tasks, notes, and appointments
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, email, firstName, lastName, phone
Trigger: new leads in AFrame push to the Contacts API to create or update records
Actions: POST /contacts/ to create; PUT /contacts/:contactId to update
POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId
email, firstName, lastName, phone, businessId
Trigger: when a tag or note is added in AFrame, mirror changes to the corresponding contact in the Contacts API
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tags; POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
POST /contacts/:contactId/tags and POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, tags, notes
Faster automation setup: build end‑to‑end workflows in AFrame without writing code
Real‑time data sync between GHL and AFrame reduces manual data entry and errors
Scalable contact management with repeatable templates and centralized data mapping
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, data mapping, and error handling to build reliable automations
Application Programming Interface that lets software applications talk to each other
A framework for secure delegated access that issues tokens for API calls
A specific URL in an API that performs an action or returns data
A callback URL that receives real-time data from another app
Automatically generate tasks in GHL when a contact’s status updates in AFrame, keeping teams aligned
Push meeting notes from AFrame into contact notes in GHL for a complete activity trail
Auto-tag contacts based on activity in AFrame to segment and trigger downstream automations
Register your app in the GHL developer portal, note the client ID and secret, and generate an access token for API calls
Enable required scopes such as contacts.readonly and contacts.write if needed; set redirect/callback URLs and test with sample data
In AFrame, map fields, define triggers, and test your workflows before deploying
You can start with no code using AFrame’s visual automations. The GHL Contacts API provides endpoints that you can call from AFrame without custom code, using OAuth tokens for security. As you test, use a sandbox environment to validate data flow and error handling.
AFrame and the Contacts API support OAuth 2.0 client credentials and token-based authentication. You can also use API tokens if your setup allows. Always protect credentials and rotate them regularly.
The key endpoints cover contacts, tasks, notes, and tags. Examples include GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks. Review the endpoint list to tailor calls to your use case.
Map fields between apps using AFrame’s field mapping feature. Decide which Contacts fields (email, name, phone) map to your application’s fields, and set up triggers to run when data changes.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and API usage. Start with a conservative schedule and implement retries with exponential backoff to handle transient errors.
Use AFrame’s test mode and sample data to verify every step of the workflow, then run end-to-end tests and monitor logs for failures.
Look for official templates or community examples in the GHL developer docs and AFrame templates library to accelerate your setup.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
