Use OAuth tokens or API keys to securely access the Contacts API from AnnounceKit. Store credentials safely and rotate them regularly to protect data access.
Authorize AnnounceKit to access your Contacts data in GHL. Grant the required scope (readonly for viewing, write for updates) and configure permission granularity.
– 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 contact is updated in GHL to pull fresh data into AnnounceKit.

Trigger on task creation, update, or completion in GHL to reflect in AnnounceKit.
Actions: create or update tasks in AnnounceKit, update statuses, attach to contacts.
Method/Path: GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, status, dueDate
Trigger when notes or calendar appointments change in GHL to alert teams in AnnounceKit.
Actions: post notes to AnnounceKit, create calendar reminders, update appointment status.
Method/Path: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
Key fields: contactId, noteId, appointmentId, date
Automate repetitive updates without writing custom code.

A set of rules and tools allowing apps to communicate and exchange data.
An open standard for granting access tokens between apps without sharing passwords.
Automatically send a welcome notification via AnnounceKit and assign onboarding tasks when a new contact is created in GHL.
Push reminders to customers when a task is nearing due date to boost engagement.
Leverage notes to trigger personalized messages in AnnounceKit.
Obtain API keys and OAuth tokens from GHL and configure them in AnnounceKit.
Plan which endpoints to call and what data to push into AnnounceKit.
Test the data mapping, monitor success, and enable alerts for failures.
No-code options are available through automation builders, but a basic understanding of API concepts helps. Start with the guided steps and use prebuilt connectors when possible. The goal is to enable non-developers to set up reliable workflows without writing code, while developers can customize advanced mappings if needed.
The Contacts API endpoints provide access to contact records, tasks, notes, and appointments. You can fetch individual contact details, list tasks and notes for a contact, and pull appointment data. Some endpoints also expose business-level queries for broader data. Use these endpoints to populate AnnounceKit notifications and tasks.
Authentication is typically done with OAuth2 tokens or API keys. You’ll securely exchange credentials between GHL and AnnounceKit, scope access to read or write as needed, and rotate tokens regularly. Always store credentials in a secure vault and follow the principle of least privilege.
Yes. When you have write permissions (contacts.write), you can create or update contacts, tasks, and related notes from AnnounceKit back to GHL. Ensure you respect data validation rules and handle conflicts gracefully to maintain data integrity.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and API usage. Plan for bursts during onboarding but implement retries with backoff to avoid hitting limits. Use webhooks and batching where appropriate to optimize calls.
Test by using sandbox credentials or a test contact set. Validate each endpoint’s response, data mapping, and error handling. Use small data samples, monitor logs, and perform end-to-end workflow tests from event triggers to announcements.
Data flow logs and error details are typically visible in the integration’s monitoring or activity dashboards. Enable alerting for failures and review API call histories to diagnose issues and verify successful synchronizations.
