To access data from the Contacts API within awork, authenticate via the GHL app connection using OAuth 2.0 with the required scope: contacts.readonly. Store and refresh tokens securely.
In awork, authenticate the GHL connection using the standard OAuth flow, then grant the app access to the Contacts API resources you need.
– 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: create or update a contact in GHL triggers a sync to awork in near real-time.
Actions: create or update the corresponding contact in awork; update tasks, notes, or events as needed.
Method path: Use GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch details, and POST /contacts/ or PUT /contacts/:contactId to sync changes between systems.
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone, company, tags
Trigger: when a task is created in awork, a corresponding task is created in GHL via POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
Actions: update status, assign, and attach notes across both systems.
Method path: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to sync updates; DELETE as needed.
Key fields: contactId, taskId, title, dueDate, status
Trigger: new notes or appointments in GHL cause a sync to awork
Actions: create notes and appointments in awork; update related contact records
Method path: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; POST /contacts/:contactId/appointments; PUT /contacts/:contactId/appointments/:appointmentId
Key fields: contactId, noteId, appointmentId, content, date
No-code integration lets you connect apps without custom code.
Prebuilt endpoints and triggers speed up setup and reduce maintenance.
Automated workflows and bi-directional data sync enable scalable processes.
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields across both systems; understand these to design reliable flows.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to access a resource in an API.
An event in GHL that starts a workflow or a data sync.
An operation performed in response to a trigger, such as creating or updating a record.
Permissions granted to access specific resources via the API.
Automatically bring new contacts from GHL into awork with a single click, reducing manual data entry.
Create task templates in awork based on contact activity in GHL, triggering when a contact updates.
Sync notes and appointments across both platforms to maintain a single source of truth.
Register a new app in the GHL developer portal and retrieve client id and client secret.
Add the required scope (contacts.readonly) and set the redirect URI to your awork app.
Use a test account to verify data flow for contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments.
With the Contacts API, you can retrieve contact details, tasks, notes, and appointments associated with a contact in awork. You can also create and update records across both systems. Use the endpoints and data mapping described here to design reliable integrations that fit your workflows.
No-code options are available through built-in connectors and templates. If your needs go beyond, you can extend with lightweight automation or scripts.
Use OAuth tokens and refresh tokens; store securely; rotate secrets; use redirect URIs; implement least-privilege access.
Begin with GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a single contact, then explore related endpoints like /contacts/:contactId/tasks and /contacts/:contactId/notes to understand data structures.
Use a sandbox or test account, enable detailed logging, and validate data flows with sample records before going live.
Yes, you can set up triggers to sync changes automatically when events occur.
Rate limits vary by plan and endpoint. Check the GHL API documentation for current quotas and best practices to avoid throttling.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
