The Contacts API uses API keys or OAuth tokens to secure requests. Use the scope ‘contacts.readonly’ for read-only operations unless you have write permissions.
Albacross authenticates to GHL via your API key and OAuth flow; ensure app permissions align with endpoint 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 when a new lead is captured by Albacross
Create or update a contact via POST /contacts/; map name, email, and company from Albacross to the Contacts API; attach initial notes or tasks as needed
POST /contacts/
email, name, company
When Albacross creates or updates a lead with actionable activity
Create a task via POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; fetch notes via GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to inform follow-ups
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, task title, due date
When a new Albacross lead is identified with a score above threshold
POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to apply tags; use tags to drive segmentation and automation
POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
contactId, tags
Automates data sync without writing code
Keeps your CRM current with real-time updates
Reduces manual data entry and accelerates outreach
Key elements include Contacts, Tasks, Notes, and Tags; processes cover authentication, API calls, data mapping, and error handling.
A person or company entity stored in your Contacts database with identifiers like email, name, and company.
A unit of work assigned to a contact, such as follow-up call or email, tracked via the API.
A memo or recording linked to a contact that captures important interactions.
A label used to categorize contacts for segmentation and automation.
As soon as Albacross identifies a lead, push enriched contact data into the Contacts API to create or update a CRM entry.
Create follow-up tasks automatically when a lead meets certain criteria.
Assign tags to contacts based on lead score or industry to power segmentation in your CRM.
Obtain OAuth or API keys and grant the necessary scopes for read and write access.
Map Albacross fields (name, email, company) to Contacts API fields for accurate sync.
Create Zapier workflows or webhook triggers to automate data flow.
No deep coding is required; you can set up connections using OAuth or API keys and configure mappings in the dashboard. For complex flows, use Zapier app connector to glue steps together. Our no-code approach keeps setup quick.
Common endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId for enrichment lookups and POST /contacts/ to create or update records. Combine with tasks and tags to automate follow-ups.
Data is sent over HTTPS with tokens; you can restrict permissions using scopes like contacts.readonly. Review your API key permissions in your GHL developer console and enable auditing.
Yes, you can create or update contacts via POST /contacts/ and modify fields with PUT /contacts/:contactId. Be mindful of write permissions and data validation.
Map common fields such as email, name, company, and phone. Use identical field names where possible to simplify the integration and avoid duplicates.
Yes. The Contacts API supports rate limits. If you hit limits, implement exponential backoff in your automation or batch requests.
Error responses are returned in standard HTTP format with error codes and messages. Enable verbose logs in your app to diagnose issues and review the API reference for guidance.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
