To access the Contacts API, generate an access token in your GHL developer console and include it in the Authorization header of each request.
During setup, grant AutoBlogger the necessary permissions to read and write contact data so it can craft posts and manage tasks.
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: a contact is added or updated in GHL
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch data, then feed into AutoBlogger to draft a post
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, company, notes
Trigger: new or updated task in Contacts
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks that sync with AutoBlogger’s content calendar
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskId, title, dueDate, status
Trigger: tag added to a contact
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to assign content topics and routing
POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
contactId, tags

The process of proving identity to access resources, typically via OAuth tokens or API keys.
An event in GHL that starts an automation or workflow in AutoBlogger.
A label assigned to a contact to categorize and route in automations.
Generate weekly summaries tailored to each contact’s data and activity.
Draft status updates based on contact progress and recent notes.
Create posts around topics inferred from contact tags and segments.
Obtain a valid access token for GHL and authorize AutoBlogger.
Identify the contact fields you need and map them to AutoBlogger templates.
Run tests, refine templates, and deploy to production.
You typically authenticate with an OAuth token or API key provided by GHL. Include the token in the Authorization header for each request. Ensure the token is kept secret and rotated regularly. The Contacts API is designed for read operations in this use case, with write endpoints protected behind proper authentication. Always follow the principle of least privilege.
The endpoint list includes: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts, POST /contacts, PUT /contacts/:contactId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed, DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, POST /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments, GET /contacts/business/:businessId, etc. Use only endpoints your app needs and respect permissions. If you plan to write data, ensure you have the correct write permissions and implement safeguards to prevent unintended updates.
Map fields like contactId, name, email, company, and notes to template tokens in AutoBlogger. Use a mapping layer to transform fields into your blog post template and ensure aliases are consistent across templates. Validate mappings with test contacts to confirm that generated content reflects the right data and formatting.
Yes, you can write to the API if your access token has write permissions. Use POST, PUT, or DELETE as required by the endpoint, following rate limits and data validation rules. Always implement safeguards such as input validation, error handling, and rollback plans in case of incorrect updates.
Rate limits vary by plan; plan for bursts and implement exponential backoff to handle retries gracefully. Monitor your quota usage and optimize your automations to minimize unnecessary calls, consolidating requests when possible.
Tags on contacts can drive conditional templates and topic clustering in AutoBlogger. Ensure tags are standardized and consistently applied to enable reliable routing in automations. Use tag schemas that map to content topics for scalable personalization.
Use least privilege, rotate tokens regularly, and store credentials securely. Restrict network access, enable audit logging, and review permissions periodically to keep integrations safe.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
