Access to the Contacts API requires proper authentication and a defined scope (contacts.readonly). Use OAuth 2.0 where supported and store tokens securely.
Appointedd connects to the GHL Contacts API using OAuth 2.0 client credentials and user authorization. Keep the client secret secure and refresh tokens as needed.
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
When a contact is accessed or updated in Appointedd, retrieve the contact and associated tasks from GHL.
Create or update the contact in GHL, then pull related tasks to keep data in sync.
GET /contacts/:contactId
id, name, email, phone, tasks
When an appointment is created in Appointedd, push it to the contact’s appointments in GHL.
POST /contacts/:contactId/appointments to create, then GET /contacts/:contactId to refresh view.
POST /contacts/:contactId/appointments
appointmentId, date, time, status
When notes or tasks change in Appointedd, update GHL notes and tasks to reflect the latest state.
PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId and PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id to sync changes.
PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
taskId, noteId, status, content
A unified view of contacts, appointments, and tasks across Appointedd and GHL.
Automated data syncing reduces manual entry and errors.
Secure access with scoped permissions and audit trails.
Core elements include contacts, appointments, tasks, notes, and tags. Processes cover authentication, endpoint calls, and data mapping between Appointedd and the GHL Contacts API.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that allows apps to talk to each other and perform actions like read or write data.
The process of proving identity to access a service, typically via OAuth 2.0 or API keys.
A specific URL path in an API that performs an action or returns data.
A standard for obtaining access tokens to call APIs securely.
Pull appointment metadata to enrich contact records in GHL and improve segmentation.
Tag contacts based on appointment category to tailor campaigns and follow-ups.
Trigger follow-up tasks in Appointedd from GHL workflows to close loops.
Register Appointedd in the GHL developer portal to obtain client ID and client secret.
Assign scopes such as contacts.readonly and test the connection in a sandbox.
Run end-to-end tests, verify data syncing, and monitor after going live.
Appointedd can access contact data in GHL with read permissions to pull contact details and related records like appointments and tasks. Always ensure users have consent to share data and respect privacy settings. In practice, limit access to only the necessary fields to minimize exposure. Regularly review scopes and audit logs to maintain security.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0. You’ll exchange client credentials for access tokens and attach them to API requests. Store tokens securely, rotate secrets regularly, and implement token refresh logic. Use scopes that fit the required read-only or write operations and monitor token lifetimes.
Common syncing endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId to pull contact data, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments for scheduling, and POST /contacts/:contactId/appointments to create new appointments. For updates, use PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId and PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id. Map fields carefully to keep data aligned.
Yes. You can customize field mappings between Appointedd and GHL by selecting which contact fields, appointment data, and task details are synced. Use a mapping layer to translate Appointedd fields to corresponding GHL fields and vice versa. Maintain a versioned mapping to track changes.
Webhooks are supported for real-time updates. Configure webhooks to notify your system about new appointments, updated tasks, or changed notes so you can react instantly and keep data current in both apps.
If you hit rate limits, implement exponential backoff, cache non-critical data, and stagger requests. Use batch operations where available and monitor API usage dashboards to adjust your integration pace.
Yes. Start with a no-code connection by using built-in integration tools or middleware to map fields and trigger simple workflows. For advanced scenarios, progressively introduce API calls and custom logic.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
