To securely access the Contacts API from AppSheet, configure your GHL credentials in the developer console and choose OAuth2 or API key-based access as supported by your setup. Store credentials securely in AppSheet’s secrets store and rotate them regularly.
Set up the AppSheet connector to use the GHL app credentials, request the required scopes, and securely manage access tokens for ongoing synchronization.
GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a contact; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — List tasks for a contact; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Get a task; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes — List notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — Get a note; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — List appointments; GET /contacts/ — List contacts; GET /contacts/business/:businessId — List contacts by business; POST /contacts/ — Create a contact; PUT /contacts/:contactId — Update a contact; DELETE /contacts/:contactId — Delete a contact; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks — Create a task; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Update a task; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed — Mark a task as completed; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Delete a task; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags — Add a tag to a contact.
Trigger: When a contact is updated in GHL, fetch related tasks and notes into AppSheet to keep records current.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
GET /contacts/:contactId; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId; taskId; noteId
Trigger: AppSheet creates a new task for a contact and this is reflected in GHL.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
Key fields: contactId; taskId
Trigger: Update contact tags from AppSheet to segment audiences and automate routing.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Key fields: contactId; tag
Build powerful automations without writing code.
Keep contact data synced across tools in real time.
Scale outreach with consistent data and triggers.
This glossary covers endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields used when connecting AppSheet to the GHL Contacts API.
A specific URL path in the REST API that performs a function (for example, retrieving a contact).
An event in GHL that starts a workflow or data sync in AppSheet.
An operation you call on the API to create, read, update, or delete data.
The process of proving identity to access the API, typically via OAuth2 or API keys.
Automatically generate a task in GHL whenever a new contact is added in AppSheet to kick off follow-ups.
Bring notes from GHL into AppSheet records so your team has context at a glance.
Use tags to segment contacts in AppSheet workflows and automate routing.
Register your app in the GHL console and generate API credentials for AppSheet.
In AppSheet, add the GHL app as a connected service and configure the required endpoints and scopes.
Run test data syncs, verify data integrity, and enable automation rules.
You can access contact data, notes, tasks, and appointments through the Contacts API from AppSheet. Endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks give you structured access to related data. Use filters and query parameters to tailor results to your AppSheet views. Leverage mapping and lookups in AppSheet to present data cleanly and trigger actions based on specific field values.
No heavy coding is required thanks to no-code connectors in AppSheet. You can configure triggers, actions, and data maps using the visual editor. For complex workflows, small script helpers or Zapier-style automations can augment the integration. Starter templates and sample apps can accelerate setup without writing code.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 or API keys depending on your setup. In AppSheet, store credentials securely and refresh tokens as needed. Follow best practices for credential rotation and scope management. Ensure tokens are scoped to the minimal permissions required for your automation to reduce risk.
The core endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and others listed in the endpoint section. You can mix and match endpoints to build your data flows. Use pagination and filters to manage large data sets for AppSheet displays.
Use a sandbox or test environment to validate data flows. Create mock contacts, tasks, and notes to verify triggers and field mappings. Check logs and error messages to debug. Document any mismatches between AppSheet fields and API fields to prevent surprises in production.
Yes. You can apply filters and sorting on API calls to AppSheet views. Use query parameters like ?limit=100&sort=name to control results. Combine filters with AppSheet views to present exactly the subset of data your users need.
Token refresh is handled by the connector. If using OAuth, refresh tokens automatically; if using API keys, rotate keys regularly. Set up alerting for token expiry and implement a refresh flow to avoid interrupted syncing.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
