Use your GHL API key and include the correct scope (contacts.readonly) in requests. Store credentials securely in AskNicely and rotate keys regularly.
Configure your AskNicely app to consume the Contacts API using the GHL credentials. Select the required scopes and test access with a simple read request.
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 a contact is created or updated in GHL to keep AskNicely up to date.
Actions include creating or updating contacts in AskNicely and syncing related tasks and notes.
Key methods include GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch details and POST or PUT endpoints to update related data.
Essential fields include contactId, email, firstName, lastName, phone, and status.
Trigger on new or updated tasks to reflect status in AskNicely.
Use POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to update.
Important fields are taskId, contactId, title, dueDate, and completed.
Trigger when notes are added or appointments are booked for a contact.
Use GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments to pull data and POST to update notes as needed.
Notes provide noteId and content; Appointments use appointmentId, time, status, and location linked to contactId.
No code required means faster setup and easier ongoing maintenance.
Real-time automation happens without custom development, helping your team move faster.
A single source of truth for contact data across GHL and AskNicely improves accuracy and insights.
This glossary covers core data elements and how they flow during the integration between the GHL Contacts API and AskNicely.
An individual in the GHL Contacts API containing identifiers and contact details.
A to-do item linked to a contact used to track work.
A text entry attached to a contact for notes and context.
A scheduled meeting or call associated with a contact.
Send an AskNicely survey automatically when a new contact is added in GHL.
Use contact attributes to tailor messages in AskNicely for higher engagement.
Combine GHL and AskNicely data in a single view to measure engagement and outcomes.
From the GHL developer portal, create an app and copy the client id and client secret.
Enter the credentials in the AskNicely integration settings and select the Contacts API scope (contacts.readonly).
Run tests, validate data sync, and monitor logs before going live.
You can read contacts and related data using GET endpoints such as /contacts/:contactId. The scope contacts.readonly governs what you can view. For writes, you will need additional permissions and secure handling of credentials. Keep credentials secret and rotate keys regularly.
Authenticate requests by including your GHL API key in the Authorization header and use the app credentials from AskNicely. Ensure the correct scopes are granted and test with a simple read request before enabling broader access.
Start with GET /contacts/:contactId to verify access to a single record, then explore related endpoints for tasks, notes, and appointments. Use a sandbox or test environment when possible and monitor responses for errors.
No code can be used for basic reads and simple data mapping via prebuilt connectors. Some setup may require minimal configuration in AskNicely or your GHL app settings to map fields.
Webhooks are supported in many setups or can be emulated with polling if needed. Check your plan and documentation for webhook subscriptions and retry behavior.
Rate limits depend on your plan and endpoint usage. If you hit limits, implement exponential backoff and batch requests where possible. Review the API docs for specifics.
Map common fields such as id, email, name, and phone between GHL and AskNicely. Use consistent field names and consider creating a mapping table to simplify ongoing maintenance.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
