To access the GHL Contacts API from AppFollow, configure your GHL API credentials and follow the recommended auth flow. Use the provided API key or OAuth setup and ensure the scope includes at least contacts.readonly to read contact data securely.
Connect AppFollow to GHL by completing the AppFollow connection step, which may involve entering API keys or OAuth credentials. This establishes a secure, authorized channel for data sync between systems.

No-code setup lets teams automate data flows quickly without writing custom code.
Real-time syncing provides up-to-date customer insights across apps.
Centralized data reduces duplication and manual data entry.
This section covers core data elements (contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, tags) and processes (authentication, data mapping, and synchronization workflows) used by the AppFollow–GHL integration.
A person or entity stored in GHL Contacts with identifiers and contact details.
A unit of work linked to a contact to track activities and follow-ups.
A free-text entry associated with a contact to record information.
A URL path in the API used to access a resource.
Whenever a new contact is added in GHL, automatically create a corresponding contact in AppFollow with mapped fields to ensure seamless onboarding.
Mirror notes from GHL to AppFollow to preserve context across platforms.
Link tasks between GHL and AppFollow and push updates to both systems to keep teams aligned.
Gather your GHL API key and the AppFollow connection details to begin the setup.
Map fields between GHL Contacts and AppFollow to ensure accurate data sync and trigger logic.
Run test syncs, verify data integrity, and enable automation for go‑live.
The Contacts API provides read-only access to contact data, including basic profile information, and related resources like tasks, notes, and appointments. This enables you to fetch and display up-to-date details in AppFollow. Because the scope is read-only, you cannot modify data via this API unless you request additional permissions (e.g., contacts.write). If you need write capabilities, upgrade the scope or enable write endpoints as permitted by your GHL and AppFollow configuration.
No extensive coding is required for common use cases thanks to connectors and templates. You can set up triggers, mappings, and basic workflows visually. Advanced logic or custom transformations may benefit from minimal scripting, but many teams achieve full automation with built-in features.
Endpoint calls let you retrieve and relate data (contacts, tasks, notes) to drive automations in AppFollow. Use GET calls to pull data for display or decisioning, and POST/PUT calls when you have write permissions. Properly mapping fields ensures data appears consistently across systems.
Real-time syncing depends on configuration. With event-driven triggers or webhooks, updates can propagate quickly between GHL and AppFollow. In some setups, polling intervals may apply. Plan around your team’s data freshness needs.
Authentication typically uses GHL API credentials (key or OAuth) and AppFollow’s connection flow. Secure storage, least-privilege permissions, and periodic credential rotation are recommended best practices.
Deleting via the integration is controlled by permissions. With read-only scope, deletions are not allowed. If you enable write access, ensure governance and audit trails are in place to prevent accidental data loss.
The base scope here is readonly (contacts.readonly). To modify data from AppFollow back to GHL, you would need elevated permissions. Review your security policy and request higher privileges if required.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
