Authenticate requests to the Contacts API using your GHL API key and OAuth tokens, with the scope set to contacts.readonly to access read-only contact data.
Link Ashby to the API using your GHL credentials and grant the necessary scopes so Ashby can securely read and reference contact data.
– 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 – 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 Ashby creates or updates a contact to keep the Contacts API in sync in real time.
Actions: fetch or update the contact in the API, attach notes, or create related tasks as needed.
Methods: GET /contacts/:contactId to read, POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update.
Key fields: contactId, email, name
Trigger: when notes or tasks are added in Ashby to reflect in the Contacts API.
Actions: create/update notes and tasks via the corresponding endpoints.
Methods: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; POST /contacts/:contactId/notes; PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id
Key fields: contactId, noteId, taskId
Trigger: bulk import or scheduled sync from Ashby.
Actions: batch write to /contacts endpoints (create, update, tag), with robust error handling.
Methods: POST /contacts/ for bulk create, PUT /contacts/:contactId for updates, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks for batch tasks.
Key fields: batchId, contactId, updatedAt
Real-time data synchronization reduces manual data entry and reconciliation.
Versatile workflows across contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments enable end-to-end automation.
Automated updates and built-in error handling increase reliability and scalability.
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data mapping; processes cover setup, testing, and monitoring of your Ashby-to-Contacts API workflow.
An Application Programming Interface that lets two applications communicate and exchange data.
A specific URL path in the API that performs a defined operation.
The process of verifying identity to securely access the API.
A callback mechanism where the API notifies your app of events in real time.
Automatically create a new Ashby contact when a new record is added via the Contacts API.
Pull additional fields from Ashby to populate Contacts API records for richer data.
Create and assign tasks in Ashby based on events in the Contacts API to keep teams aligned.
Obtain your GHL API key and verify the access scope: contacts.readonly.
Map Ashby fields to Contacts API fields and test each endpoint for reliability.
Run test events, monitor responses, and set up error handling and retries.
The Contacts API lets Ashby read and interact with contact data from your GHL account. It enables you to keep contact records in sync and to surface up-to-date information in Ashby workflows. Use this API to pull contact details, tasks, notes, and appointments for more informed operations. With clear endpoints and authentication, you can build reliable automations that bridge Ashby and your contact database.
Authentication is done using your GHL API key and OAuth tokens. Limit the scope to contacts.readonly for read access, or request broader permissions only if your use case requires it. Keep credentials secure and rotate them periodically. For production builds, implement token refresh logic and avoid exposing keys in client-side code.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
