Access is controlled by the scope ‘contacts.readonly’. Use OAuth 2.0 or API keys to securely authorize requests. Store credentials securely in AppSorteos and refresh tokens as needed.
In AppSorteos, configure a secure credential store for your GHL API tokens. Use environment variables and encrypted storage; never expose secrets in logs.
Endpoints are the foundation for data flow between AppSorteos and the GHL Contacts API. Typical operations include fetching a contact (GET /contacts/:contactId), listing a contact’s tasks (GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks), retrieving or updating notes (GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id), and creating or updating contacts (POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId). Additional endpoints support appointments (GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments) and business context (GET /contacts/business/:businessId). Write access is enabled via endpoints such as POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags.
Trigger: When a new contact is created in AppSorteos, fetch or create the contact in GHL.
Actions: Create or update contact, assign tasks, and attach notes using endpoints 10, 13, 2-5.
POST /contacts/ and GET /contacts/:contactId; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone
Trigger: When a task is updated in AppSorteos, reflect in GHL tasks.
Actions: Use endpoints 2,3,4,5 to fetch and update tasks and notes.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: taskId, title, status, dueDate, notes
Trigger: AppSorteos events create or update appointments and sync business context.
Actions: Use endpoints 6 and 8 to pull appointments and business details for context in outreach.
GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments, GET /contacts/business/:businessId
Key fields: appointmentId, businessId, startTime, endTime
Automate lead capture and follow-ups without writing code.

A quick glossary of terms used throughout this guide, including API endpoints, authentication, and data objects.
A specific URL and method used to access a particular resource in the GHL Contacts API.
The process of proving identity and obtaining authorization to call API endpoints (e.g., OAuth 2.0, API keys).
A standard protocol for authorization, enabling apps to access user data securely.
The maximum number of API requests allowed in a given window to prevent abuse.
Automatically create or update contacts in GHL when a form is submitted in AppSorteos, including assigning tags.
Sync tasks between systems to trigger reminders in AppSorteos when tasks are completed in GHL.
Pull appointment data and related business details into AppSorteos to inform outreach.
Create a new app in the GHL developer console, generate an API key or OAuth client, and set the scope to contacts.readonly.
Store credentials securely, configure endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/, and map fields.
Run tests, verify data sync, monitor error logs, and enable automatic retries.
AppSorteos can access contact data using the Contacts API with the configured scope. You can read contact details, associated tasks, notes, and appointments as part of standard read operations. To perform modifications such as creating or updating records, you will need write permissions (e.g., contacts.write).
OAuth 2.0 is the recommended method for authentication, often paired with API keys for initial setup. Use secure storage for tokens and refresh tokens, and rotate credentials regularly. Always follow the principle of least privilege by requesting only the scopes you need (e.g., contacts.readonly vs. contacts.write).
Essential endpoints for daily sync include GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a contact, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks for tasks, POST /contacts/ to create a contact, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, and GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments for scheduling context. For business context, GET /contacts/business/:businessId is useful. Depending on your workflow, other endpoints like notes and tags may also be used.
Yes. You can trigger AppSorteos workflows when data changes in GHL by using webhooks or polling to determine changes and then invoking AppSorteos actions. Map triggers to endpoints such as tasks or notes updates to keep data in sync across systems.
GHL enforces rate limits on API calls. Implement exponential backoff and retry logic for 429 responses, and respect per-method limits. If you exceed limits, pause requests briefly and retry with increasing delays to avoid throttling.
Common errors include invalid credentials, missing scopes, or trying to access a non-existent resource. Use thorough logging, test in a sandbox environment, and implement retries with backoff. Validate field mappings and ensure endpoint correctness before going live.
API endpoint details and field mappings are documented in the GHL API reference and in your AppSorteos integration settings. The endpoints list above highlights the core resources (contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, and business data) you’ll typically map between AppSorteos and the GHL Contacts API.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
