Access to the Contacts API requires a secure OAuth flow with the scope set to contacts.readonly. Use the provided client credentials to authorize APPNAME to read contact data without exposing sensitive credentials.
Configure APPNAME to request the same OAuth scopes and exchange tokens with the Contacts API. Store tokens securely and refresh before expiry.
1) GET /contacts/:contactId; 2) GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks; 3) GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; 4) GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; 5) GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id; 6) GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments; 7) GET /contacts/; 8) GET /contacts/business/:businessId; 9) contacts.write; 10) POST /contacts/; 11) PUT /contacts/:contactId; 12) DELETE /contacts/:contactId; 13) POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; 14) PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; 15) PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed; 16) DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; 17) POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Trigger when a contact is accessed or updated in APPNAME; fetch the contact record and any related tasks from the Contacts API.
Actions include retrieving contact data and tasks, then creating or updating a record in APPNAME, and optionally logging activity notes.
GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
contactId, taskId
Trigger when a new contact is created in APPNAME; push to the Contacts API.
Create or update a contact via POST /contacts/ or PUT /contacts/:contactId; attach relevant notes and tasks as needed.
POST /contacts/; PUT /contacts/:contactId
contactId, businessId
Trigger when tasks are created, updated, or tagged in APPNAME; reflect in Contacts API.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
contactId, taskId, tagId
No-code setup lets you connect critical data without writing code, speeding your integration.
Visual workflow builders and triggers reduce maintenance time and complexity.
Real-time data synchronization improves decision making and customer experience across both systems.
This glossary explains core concepts like Contact, Task, Note, and Business, plus the common endpoints and data flows used in the integration.
A person or organization record in the Contacts API, containing identity and contact details.
A to-do item assigned to a contact, with status and due date fields.
A free-form text entry attached to a contact for context or history.
A company or organization associated with a contact in the Contacts API.
Automatically create a contact in the Contacts API when a new lead appears in APPNAME, with initial tasks and notes attached.
Push task updates from Contacts API to a project board in APPNAME and reflect status changes back to GHL.
Automatically apply tags and attach notes on contact updates to maintain context across systems.
Create OAuth credentials, configure scopes (including contacts.readonly), and exchange tokens securely between GHL and APPNAME.
Map and enable the endpoints you need (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) to the flow in APPNAME.
Run tests, verify data fields, and set up automations that trigger on changes in Contacts or APPNAME.
You can authenticate using OAuth 2.0. Start by creating a client in APPNAME and granting the scope ‘contacts.readonly’. Then exchange the authorization code for an access token and refresh token. Store tokens securely and refresh them as needed. This ensures APPNAME can read contact data from the GHL Contacts API without exposing credentials. In most setups, you’ll configure a callback URL in APPNAME to handle the token exchange.
The endpoint list includes common read and write operations such as GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, and DELETE /contacts/:contactId. Use the endpoints your workflow requires; consider also notes, appointments, and tags for richer data. Each endpoint returns JSON with fields like id, name, status, and timestamps.
Map fields by creating a schema in APPNAME that matches the Contacts API fields you rely on, such as contactId, firstName, lastName, email, and phone. Use Zapier or your integration tool to transform data types and ensure IDs line up across systems. Keep a mapping document for maintenance.
Yes. You can automate task creation, updates, notes, and tagging from APPNAME to GHL and vice versa. Use triggers and actions to sync statuses and due dates, and to reflect notes in both systems.
This is a no-code integration when used with a tool like Zapier App Connector. You only need to configure connections, triggers, and actions—no custom coding required. You’ll still need to understand the data you are moving and how it maps between systems.
Test in a sandbox environment, validate token lifecycles, and verify data mappings. Use test records for contacts, notes, tasks, and tags. Review error messages and adjust workflows accordingly.
Check the app’s activity logs, API response codes, and any webhook or trigger history in APPNAME and the Contacts API. Use logs to trace failures and fine-tune mappings and field alignment.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
